Arrests in Noah & The Whale kit theft case
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 October 2009
Two men have been arrested in relation to the previously reported disappearance of Noah And The Whale’s instruments in Manchester last week.
As previously reported, the band announced on their MySpace last week that they “had all of their instruments and tour equipment stolen from Trinity Way NCP car park in Manchester”. Calling the theft “devastating”, the band asked anyone who saw or knew anything about the theft to get in touch.
The band’s whole kit-filled trailer was nicked. Police recovered the trailer itself on Friday and found one amp inside, but the rest of the instruments remain missing. Officers have now arrested two men in relation to the theft, and have told reporters that they are looking for a Ford Transit van, registration S144 NBV, and a black Daewoo Leganza which they believe may have been involved in the crime.
Detective Sergeant Simon Akker told reporters: “We have spoken to the band who are continuing on their tour. I would ask the public to help us find the outstanding musical equipment which is easily identifiable as much of the equipment is labelled with the band’s name ‘Noah And The Whale’ or ‘Whale'”.
