Arrest made in the flight of instruments stolen from the Rock Heart group

Atlantic City, NJ (AP) – The authorities made an arrest in the theft of two irreplaceable instruments belonging to members of the Rock Heart group who were stolen in a place in New Jersey last weekend.

According to Atlantic City police, the surveillance video initially led them to a 57 -year -old man from Pleasantville. He was then seen on video walking in various parts of the city, trying to sell the instruments, and he finally sold one while the other remains not recorded, the police said, refusing new comments. The man was accused of burglary and theft.

The group was to launch the An evening with heart Tour at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on Saturday, and its equipment was installed there the day before the show. Among the stolen items, there was a tailor-made baritone baritone cable guitar with a headache painted in hand, Nancy Wilson, member of the group, and a vintage mandoline from 1966 Gibson EM-50 that the group member, Paul Moak, has played for more than 25 years.

“These instruments are more than tools in our profession – these are extensions of our musical souls,” said Nancy Wilson in a press release published by the group which also offered a reward for information leading to their return. “We have a broken heart and ask their return safely – no question asked. Their value for us is immeasurable. “

Heart is led by Wilson and his sister, Ann, who have made music together since the 1970s and had successes like “Magic Man”, “Crazy on You” and “alone”. Rock & Roll Hall of Famers was honored with a life production prize for Recording Academy in 2023.
