<p>This past weekend, The Camera Store in Calgary, Canada was victim of a burglary in which the assailants made away with some highend gear by Hasselblad and Leica.</p>
<p>With the help from the public, two suspects have been taken into custody and all of the Hasselblad gear has been recovered. The Leica M-P 240 Safari edition camera has yet to be found.</p>
<p><strong>From The Camera Store Blog:</strong></p>

<blockquote><p>Within 48 hours of thieves leaving The Camera Store in shambles of shattered glass and robbing us of nearly $35,000 of specialty camera equipment, Constable Tony Hogendorp and Constable Paul Teworte from Calgary Police Service have recovered our stolen Hasselblad equipment. Two suspects were taken into custody outside a Calgary mall Monday afternoon, after meeting an officer who answered a Kijiji listing.</p>
<p>Although the Hasselblad equipment was recovered and returned to The Camera Store, our rare Leica M-P 240 Safari camera worth $13,000 was not recovered. <a href="http://www.thecamerastore.com/blog/stolen-hasselblad-gear-reunited-with-the-camera-store-.aspx">Read the full statement</a></p></blockquote>

Most of the Stolen Gear Recovered - Just most?

Can we assume the police immediately got a warrant to search their homes to find the Leica? Now that they're in custody it should be straightforward to get its location out of them.
