Two men were arrested early this morning after they allegedly stole a variety of hand tools from a car parked on North Ohio Street a several minutes earlier.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a witness called shortly before 3:30 a.m. to report seeing a suspicious vehicle dropping off someone in the 2600 block of North Ohio Street, a short distance north of Interstate 70.
