Police are searching for a known suspect after two vehicle side mirrors were damaged early Monday morning in west Salina.
At approximately 3 a.m. Monday, an alleged agitated white male entered the Kwik Shop at 1727 West Crawford Street, and stayed for approximately five minutes, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. After he left, a Krispy Kreme delivery driver told store personnel that someone had knocked the side mirror -- valued at $1,100 -- off his delivery van, Forrester said.
At approximately 6 a.m., a Kwik Shop employee noticed that the driver's side mirror on the employee's 1995 Chevrolet Astrovan had been damaged, he said.
Police reviewed surveillance video and saw the alleged agitated white male walk toward the store from the intersection of West Crawford Street and Beverly Drive-Centennial Road, Forrester said. The surveillance video shows the suspect punching the mirror on the Krispy Kreme van before entering the store, Forrester added. It is believed that the suspect also damaged the Astrovan mirror, he said.
Because of the surveillance video, police were able to identify the 48-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, Forrester said.
