LONG ISLAND CITY — Police are looking for four people who swiped a guitar and a computer from a music store in Queens on Monday — the third theft at the location in recent months, according to the NYPD.

The suspects, three men and a woman, entered Guitar Center at 34-17 48 St. at roughly 7:15 p.m. and walked out with the instrument and a Mac computer, police said.

The music store, located just off of Northern Boulevard, was the scene of two similar grand larcenies this fall. A man stole a $2,000 electric drum kit module from the shop in October.

Later that month, another thief swiped a more than $4,000 Gibson guitar by hiding it under his shirt.

A manager at the store declined to comment.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
