When a Salina resident went to a residence in town to work on his motorcycle on Monday, June 24, he returned to find it missing from the workshop location.

Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. James Feldman said at 4 p.m. Monday, a 37-year-old Salina man called dispatch and reported that his maroon and burgundy 2006 Yamaha SZ 600 was missing.

"He stated his motorcycle was stolen from the 700 block of North Santa Fe, but that's not where he lives, between the 22nd and the 24th," Feldman said. "He said that he was working on the bike, and then somebody stole it within that timeframe."

The motorcycle's owner said he left it there to continue working on it on Monday. Feldman said the Yamaha, valued at $2,500, had no tags and a black spray-painted windscreen.

SPD officers continue looking for suspects since the owner did not know who would have stolen the motorcycle.

Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.
