A tip about a Crimestoppers story posted Friday helped the Saline County Sheriff's Office recover a stolen UTV and make an arrest in the case.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that after investigating a tip received Friday, deputies arrested Sean Schuff, 33, of Salina, on suspicion of the following.
Burglary
Theft
Criminal damage to property
The black 2015 Kawasaki Mule Pro-DX that belonged to Saline County was stolen from one of the expo center buildings near the Greeley Avenue Bridge sometime between 3 p.m. on Dec. 23 and 11 a.m. on Dec. 24. It had a new water sprayer on the back bed of the vehicle. The whole unit was valued at $18,900, Soldan said.
Although Schuff had allegedly already sold the UTV, deputies were able to recover the vehicle and sprayer in Salina, Soldan said. The UTV and sprayer were undamaged, he added.
