Salina Police Department (SPD) officers are investigating the theft of an electric bike after a burglary was reported on Maple Avenue on Friday. 

According to SPD Cpt. James Feldman, on Oct. 4, a suspect forced entry into a detached garage located in the 500 Block of Maple Avenue between 2:30 p.m. and 5:40 p.m.

"The 45-year-old homeowner reported that his blue X1500 electric bicycle, valued at $3,000, was stolen. The forced entry caused approximately $220 in damage to the door," Feldman said.

The victim, who was not home at the time of the burglary, has named a known suspect. SPD officers are actively looking for the individual, who is believed to be an associate of the victim. Officers are also working to obtain any potential video footage from nearby surveillance cameras.
