Sunderland midfielder, Andy Reid, appeals for return of stolen guitars

Sunderland footballer (sorry, soccer player) Andy Reid has appealed for information after two of his prized guitars went missing from a Durham recording studio.

Reid, who has performed live for the SAFC Foundation at the Stadium of Light, reported the 1975 Gibson Les Paul and 1981 Fender Stratocaster missing last Thursday but police have so far been unable to ascertain their whereabouts.

Andy said: “Most people are aware of my passion for music and the guitars really mean a lot to me. I’m obviously hugely disappointed that they’ve been taken. It’s not about the monetary value of them; they’re just really important to me. The two guitars are very distinctive and fantastic to play, which makes them extremely difficult to replace. I’d appreciate any help that anyone can give.”

Anyone with information is being urged to contact Durham Police.
