The Salina Police Department (SPD) is investigating the theft of a vehicle reported by a local woman earlier this week.
According to SPD Captain James Feldman, a 36-year-old Salina resident reported her 2006 gray Dodge Charger missing from the Dillon’s parking lot at 1201 W. Crawford on October 23.
According to the victim, on October 18, she parked her car at Dillon's after experiencing a flat tire. She replaced the flat with a spare and left the vehicle in the lot while she tried to locate a repair shop.
Feldman said during that time, she lost her keys.
On October 19, the woman returned with a locksmith to unlock the vehicle, hoping to find the keys inside, but they were not in the car. She left the car in the parking lot and returned on October 23 with a new key, only to discover the vehicle had been stolen.
A search through the Flock Safety system revealed the vehicle was in Wichita on October 19. The vehicle, a 2006 Dodge Charger with Kansas license plate 6325ACR, is valued at $3,500.
