A police raid of an apartment in Surrey, B.C., has solved a two-year-old mystery about a valuable guitar belonging to a member of Canadian rock band 54-40. Chilliwack RCMP say an investigation of a break-in led them to a suite in Surrey where a Gibson Dove acoustic guitar was among many items recovered. The vintage instrument was one of seven stolen from 54-40 in October 2018 when their parked van was targeted by thieves in New Westminster, B.C. Charges are being considered against two people arrested and released in the Surrey raid, which RCMP say also uncovered credit cards, jewelry, firearms and electric scooters. The band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2017.
