A stolen SUV was returned to its owner after an officer located it in another part of the city Tuesday.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that Daniel Hess, 57, of Salina, reported that sometime between 7 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Tuesday, someone stole his 2006 Ford Freestyle from the driveway of his residence in the 600 block of Pheasant Lane. Hess told police that he still had both sets of keys in his possession, Forrester said.
Later on Tuesday, a patrol officer located the SUV, which was backed into a parking stall at the Heritage at Hawthorne apartment complex, 715 North Ninth Street, Forrester said. The SUV did not appear to be damaged and nothing appeared to be missing from it, he added. The SUV was returned to Hess, he said.
According to Forrester, police are looking for surveillance video in the area that might provide a clue as to who stole the SUV.
