Police are looking for a white male who allegedly stole a number of earbuds and Juuls from a west Salina convenience store.

Officers were called to Rods No. 8, 2140 West Crawford Street, at 5:20 a.m. Monday for a theft report, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. A clerk at the store told police that a bit earlier, three juveniles were in the store and making a scene, Forrester said.

The three left the store, but one waited outside the door until the night clerk went into the store's office, Forrester noted. Then the white male allegedly re-entered the store with a hoodie pulled up around his head and stole a four-pack of earbuds valued at just under $50 and an entire container of Juuls valued at just under $750, Forrester said.

The male allegedly left the parking lot driving a white pickup, according to Forrester.

Since the incident, police have developed a possible suspect and are following up on that, Forrester said.
