Salina Police are looking for a man who is believed to be involved in thefts from multiple Walmarts.

Officers were called to the Salina Walmart, 2900 South Ninth Street, at 5:50 a.m. Saturday after store personnel were notified by an out-of-state Walmart to check the store's cellular phone displays, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. When they did, they discovered the following were missing, Forrester said.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro, valued at $800

Apple iPhone XR 64 gigabyte, valued at $600

Apple iPhone 11 Pro M, valued $875

Additionally, $150 damage was done to the cellphone security holder, he said.

Video surveillance shows a heavy set black male in a black hoodie and gray sweatpants, and wearing a white ball cap taking the iPhones, Forrester said. The man was last seen on video getting into an unknown passenger car, he said.
