Dallas police made an arrest in the burglary of Lofgren’s van sometime between March 29 and March 30.

Lofgren, guitarist for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, lost four guitars and a harp that he was to use for a solo concert that night at the Kessler Theater in Dallas. He was able to rent or borrow what he needed to put on the show. 

Lofgren’s wife, Amy, tweeted April 1 “And in the good news category @nilslofgren guitars have been recovered. A Good Samaritan, a police sting, handcuffs, guns drawn. People are under arrest. We never lost hope. Crime doesn’t pay. Thank you to everyone. You all played a part.”

Pollstar boxoffice reports show Lofgren previously sold out two shows at The Birchmere in Virginia, selling 962 tickets for a gross of $47, 619
