DETROIT (WWJ) -- Police have found the car belonging to a veteran and member of the Metro Detroit Police and Fire Pipes and Drums band this week, but his bagpipes and gear are still missing.
Police reportedly found the vehicle belonging to Brian Leslie, a sergeant with the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, about a mile and a half from where it was stolen last Saturday.
The car was missing a catalytic convertor and sustained some other damage, but the bagpipes were removed from the vehicle.
