A car purchased by fraudulent means from a Salina dealership was later located in a suburb of Chicago.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that earlier this month, an unknown suspect used a fraudulent identification from Texas to arrange financing and purchase a 2020 Kia Stinger from Long McArthur, 3450 S. Ninth Street.
The person had the car picked up by truck on July 13.
After the fraudulent purchase was reported to the Salina Police Department, police personnel entered the the vehicle's information into the national database and got a hit from Calumet City, Ill., where the car had been impounded on Sunday, Forrester said.
The car is being returned to Long McArthur, he added.
