Jordan Ave. The items were last seen the previous evening on Dec. 12, when the closet was locked, according to the police report. \nIUPD officer Marty East and IU Det. Greg McClure discovered during investigation that some of the instruments had been pawned locally by IU custodian Sean Ray, according to the police report. \nIUPD worked with the establishment to recover the pawned instruments, but there are still 11 instruments missing. \nPolice were unable to find Ray at his home, and he is currently wanted on warrant for a D Felony Theft, according to the police report.\nRay is described as a white male, 5-foot-11, with brown straight shoulder length hair, brown eyes and a mustache with goatee.
