Police are investigating a Friday afternoon burglary in central Salina in which multiple katanas and air pistols were stolen.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that sometime between 1-2 p.m. Friday, someone broke into an apartment in the 300 block of East Crawford Street and stole 14 katanas and two air pistols. A katana is a curved, single-edged-blade Japanese sword.

The owner of the items, a 64-year-old Salina man, returned home to find that his back door had been forced open and the items stolen, Forrester said. Total loss was estimated at $4,050, he said.

There are no suspects at this time, Forrester added.
