Police are looking for two suspects who used a fraudulent check to purchase items at a local store.
On Wednesday officers with the Salina Police Department were sent to Menards, 805 Virginia Court, for a belated theft report. Store management reported that on Feb. 28, unknown subjects used a fraudulent check to purchase $230 worth of miscellaneous home repair/remodeling items, Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus reported this morning.
The stolen items listed included a stainless steel door protector, door lock kit, boxes of screws, magnetic driver set, package of washers, shower diverter, package of hex nuts, package of machine screws, shower hose, charcoal starter fluid, and a safe.
Store management reported that two subjects gathered the items and proceeded to a checkout lane. While checking out, one of the subjects used a check to pay for the items. The check, allegedly from Owen’s & Son Home Services, was returned to the store as a fraudulent check, Hanus reported.
Both subjects were wearing masks and baseball caps. Both appeared to be white males in their late 20s to 30s. The subjects left in an older dark colored SUV, Hanus noted.
