Another work trailer has been broken into, this time in central Salina.
According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, sometime between Monday and Wednesday, someone broke into a work trailer that was parked in the backyard of a residence in the 100 block of South 11th Street. The trailer is owned by a 56-year-old Concordia man, he added.
On Wednesday, the man asked someone to check on the trailer for him, Forrester noted. The individual went to the residence, discovered that the locks on the Midwest double axle 6-footx6-footx12-foot enclosed trailer had been compromised, and called the police, Forrester explained.
The owner was able to review the contents of the trailer via cellphone video and told police that the following items were missing, Forrester noted.
A Bosch heavy duty hammer drill and case valued at $3,000
Four drill bits totaling $1,000
Additionally, it appeared that whoever broke into the trailer also tried to gain access to the front end of the trailer, which remained locked, according to Forrester. The rivets holding the sheet metal in place on the front end were broken, he explained. Damage to the trailer was estimated at $2,000, Forrester added.
