This is really unfortunate because the violinist is the kind of person who plays often around the relatively small community. Wisconsin Lutheran College is a small college with a real focus on bringing traditional culture to the area.
Progress appears to have been made...
Three people have been arrested in connection with the theft of a concert violinist’s multimillion-dollar Stradivarius, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office said on Wednesday.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said he had no additional information about the arrests or whether the nearly 300-year-old violin had been recovered.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that police had taken the three suspects into custody on Monday.
Lovern said a decision on whether they would be charged could be made as soon as Thursday.
The Stradivarius was stolen from violinist Frank Almond last week, when the culprits used a stun gun on the musician after a concert in suburban Milwaukee.
