TORONTO – Police have found the piano recently stolen from a Toronto hospital but are still searching for the suspects.
The Boston Steinway Baby Grand Piano was rolled out of Toronto General Hospital on Sunday by two men who claimed they were taking it for tuning.
They, along with a third suspect, then moved the piano onto a waiting cargo van and drove away.
Police are now looking for 27-year-old Artem Stanislav Timofeyev who is alleged to have sold the piano to a local business after stealing it from the hospital.
