(BLOOMINGTON) - Two people were arrested after they stole more than $2,800 worth of musical equipment from Melody Music Shop on East Third Street Saturday.
Employees told Bloomington Police that 55-year-old Farron Lake and 60-year-old Mia Naifeh, both of Bloomington, spent the month of March stealing small equipment from the store.
Police say the two stole 11 different guitar pedals, a synthesizer and a microphone over the course of four or five visits.
Employees told police that Naifeh acted as the lookout, giving signals to Lake as he tucked items under his coat. Police witnessed the thefts on the store's surveillance footage.
Bloomington Police stopped both Lake and Naifeh at the store. Lake denied the allegations, Naifeh admitted to the scheme.
Naifeh was charged with four counts of misdemeanor theft. Lake was charged with four counts of felonious theft.
