More than $5,000 worth of items were stolen from a north Salina business earlier this month.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that sometime between Thursday and Saturday, someone pried up the sheet metal on a storage building in the 1100 block of N. 12th Street that is owned by Kansas Homes and Movers.
It is believed that the thief drove through a field on the south side of W. Euclid Avenue to get to the building, Forrester said.
Items stolen include the following.
●14 three-quarter-inch sets of copper line for air conditioners
●14 half-inch sets of copper line for air conditioners
●A yellow Bostitch air compressor
Total loss was estimated at $5,170.
Company personnel were able to screw the sheet metal back onto the building frame, Forrester said.
