An unknown suspect stole various construction tools from a job site in the 2700 block of Rogers Court on Saturday, April 20, and caused hundreds of dollars in damages to a duplex.
Sometime between Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20, an unknown suspect broke into an unfinished duplex in the area and stole more than $850 in tools.
"He noticed at about 8 a.m. on the 20th that someone had gained entry to one of the duplexes he was working on and stole his air compressor, miter saw and framing gun," said Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. James Feldman. "Then, they had broken into the neighboring duplex — he didn't take anything but caused $500 worth of damage by breaking in."
The total amount lost in the burglary was $860 in tools and $500 in damages. Feldman said SPD officers continue to investigate the burglary.
Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.
