Police have charged a 27-year-old man with theft after a piano was stolen from Toronto General Hospital in July.

Police recovered a stolen baby grand piano in July after receiving a tip. The $27,000 Boston Steinway piano, which had been sold to a local business, had some minor damage and has since been turned over to the Toronto police.

The piano was taken from the fourth floor of the hospital’s Peter Munk Wing after being loaded on a dolly and rolled out of the building in the middle of the afternoon on July 14. The thieves were at one point questioned by security, but were let through when they claimed to be sending the piano for musical servicing.

The large piano, which the hospital has had since 2006, was used for weekly performances by various professional piano players.

On Aug. 29, police arrested and charged 27-year-old Artem Timofeyev with: theft over $5,000, traffic in stolen goods, fraud over $5,000 and expose counterfeit mark.

He was scheduled to appear in court at Old City Hall on Tuesday.
