By Associated Press | ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Authorities have made an arrest in the theft of two irreplaceable instruments owned by members of the rock band Heart that were stolen from a venue in New Jersey last weekend.

Back Story: Heart Band Members Report Stolen Instruments, Offer Reward for Their Return
By McKinley Franklin, Hollywood Reporter
Members of the Grammy-nominated rock band Heart have reported that two irreplaceable instruments were stolen from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City ahead of their tour launch.
The “Barracuda” band was set to kick off their An Evening With Heart tour at the Atlantic City-based Hard Rock Hotel & Casino this past Saturday when instruments belonging to Nancy Wilson and Paul Moak went missing. Among the items stolen were a custom-built, one-of-a-kind purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a hand-painted headstock, which was made for Wilson, and a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin, which Moak has played for over 25 years.
“A reward is being offered for any information leading to their return. Anyone with knowledge of the theft or whereabouts of the instruments is urged to come forward,” a statement read, with any information asked to be directed to Heart’s tour manager, Tony Moon.
