RCMP in West Kelowna, B.C., are investigating an unusual theft from a storage unit.

Four guitars were allegedly stolen when someone dismantled a neighbouring, empty unit at the West Kelowna U-Haul self-storage facility last Friday.

The missing guitars are described as a gold top finish Gibson Les Paul Classic (bridge and strings are off the guitar), a mystic sea foam green USA Fender Jazzmaster, a silver burst with maple neck Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray RS, and a wine-red Gibson Les Paul Classic.

In a statement Monday, U-Haul said the organization is aware of the theft and their local team has spoken with RCMP.

U-Haul added that they have also given police video surveillance footage from the store cameras and have been in contact with the victim.
