A recently opened restaurant in south-central Salina was the victim of an early Friday burglary.
Officers were dispatched to Wingstop, 1621 S. Ohio, Friday after an employee arrived at the restaurant and discovered the safe and its contents missing from a back storeroom, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. It appeared that the backdoor to the restaurant had been pried open.
Total loss was estimated at just over $5,000.
Surveillance video in the restaurant shows a white male, approximately 40 years of age, with longer hair entering the restaurant at approximately 5:12 a.m. Friday. Drag marks from the safe could be seen from the back door into the parking lot.
Forrester said police are still reviewing surveillance video from nearby businesses in the search for information about the burglary.
Wingstop opened in Salina in mid-August.
