On Saturday afternoon, a Salina resident reported that someone she knew broke into her residence and stole some personal items while she was at home.

Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. James Feldman said the 19-year-old victim reported the crime at 4:30 p.m. and told officers that 18-year-old Haiden Briscoe broke into her loft apartment in the 900 block of North 13th Street.

"While in the residence, she heard the acquaintance at her loft residence, and she determined that she had gained entry through a window," Feldman said. "The acquaintance left the residence, and they [SPD officers] noticed a two to three-inch tear on the window screen that afforded entry."

Feldman said officers later located Briscoe and arrested her for aggravated burglary, theft, criminal damage to property and harassment by telephone.
