My band's van and gear got stolen from us in Detroit. Please be on a looking for the gear missing. Thanks!
FROM A DETROIT GUITAR CENTER MANAGER:
The three suspects are two African-American males around mid to late twenties, and one female around 18-20 years old. The two males were both darker skinned, wearing black jackets and hoods up. Both also had hats on, the shorter of the two (about 5'7" and a bit stockier) wore a dark tan beanie, and the other had a Rasta beanie (around 5'11" and skinnier.) The girl (about 5'5") also had a black jacket, with a hood up, and the girl and taller of the two males were wearing light brown colored contacts to hide their eye color.
Their story was that the two males were guitarists and each was selling their own guitar. They acted cool and casual in the building, wandering around and talking with employees. The name they gave us on our door log was Christopher Miller.
VAN
2003 Ford E-350. 2 rows of seats, and a wooden loft built into the back. Front bumper is a little dented in and kind of makes a Sad face. Wisconsin license plate 988-VAS. Stolen from the intersection of Michigan & Waubash in Detroit by Slows BBQ.
