Police: Art thief among 2 held in violin heist

A $5 million Stradivarius violin is displayed at the Milwaukee Police Department Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, in Milwaukee, a day after police recovered the instrument stolen on Jan. 27 from a concertmaster in a parking lot by a person wielding a stun gun. Police say the violin appears to be in good condition, and a Milwaukee County prosecutor said he planned to charge at least one suspect with felony robbery. (AP Photo/Dinesh Ramde) MILWAUKEE (AP) — The mystery of what happened to a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius violin stolen in a stun gun attack was answered Thursday when Milwaukee police recovered the instrument and blamed the heist at least in part on an art thief who once stole a statue from a gallery and then tried to sell it back.
