Police are looking for a man who stole a car that was parked at a north Salina business Tuesday.
An officer was sent to the Blue Beacon Truck Wash, 2303 N. Ninth Street, at 12:15 p.m. An employee there reported that he had driven his mother's car to work and had parked it with the keys still in it in the employee parking area on the west side of the business, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with Kansas license plate of 921NRC belonged to a 61-year-old Salina woman.
Surveillance video showed a white male wearing a gray hoodie, blue jeans, brown shoes, and a black ball cap with a “B” on the front walking south in the parking lot. The subject looked in the passenger side of the car and a short time later got into the driver side door and drove south out of the parking lot.
Total loss is estimated at $2,500, Forrester noted.
