Approximately $1,500 worth of coins were stolen from a garage in north Salina earlier this week.

Sometime between 8:15 p.m. Tuesday and 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, someone broke into a locked garage in the 500 block of Reynolds Street and stole two jars full of coins, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. A piece of plywood had been pried off the door and the back gate to the yard was found open, he noted.

One jar contained approximately $1,000 worth of coins and the other approximately $500 worth of coins, according to Forrester.

Damage to the door was estimated at $25, he added.
