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.
Timofeyev is known to police.
He is wanted for theft over $5,000 and trafficking in stolen goods among other charges.
Police would not say who purportedly bought the piano from Timofeyev or how much he allegedly sold it for but did say a new Boston Steinway Baby Grand Piano sells for approximately $27,000.
Watch (July 23): Police are hot on the trail of three suspected piano thieves. Lama Nicolas reports.
