SALEM, N.H.—Two men suspected of stealing 14 guitars have turned themselves in to police in Salem, New Hampshire.

Officers investigating the thefts from stores in Manchester and Salem identified the suspects by MySpace pages, apparently showing stolen goods.

Police said Justin Ray and David Rousseau of Lowell, Mass., both 20, turned themselves in to police and were arrested without incident Thursday afternoon. Their bail was set at $2,500 each.

Salem Police Capt. Shawn Patten says someone tipped police to the MySpace pages, where at least one of the men posted a photo of himself playing a guitar.

Eleven guitars were stolen from Daddy's Junky Music in Manchester and three lifted from the company's Salem store.

Police said the men took empty guitar cases to the stores, played guitars in an acoustic room for a few minutes, then put them in the cases and left.
