Salina police are looking for whoever drilled a hole in the gas tank of a van at the Lakewood Discovery Center earlier this week.

An employee at the center, which is owned by the City of Salina, told police that sometime between 5 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Tuesday, someone drilled a half-inch hole in the gas tank of a 2018 Ford X2CB van, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The center is located at 250 Lakewood Drive.

The tank had been filled on Monday with approximately 25 gallons of gasoline, he said.

Total loss is estimated at $1,080.
