A representative of a College Station business hit by a burglary last week contacted police when finding some of its property for sale online. That led to a sting by police, setting up a purchase in the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex. That resulted in recovering two of several electric guitars taken from Guitar Center. 26 year old Monterace Pier of Burton was arrested for the theft and altering I-D numbers on the guitars.
