A local manufacturing company is missing numerous power tools after a burglary over the weekend.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning that sometime between 4:30 p.m. Friday and 6:30 a.m. Monday someone entered building No. 2 at Great Plains Manufacturing, 1705 Dewey, and took numerous Dewalt and Milwaukee power tools.

There were no signs of forced entry into the building, he noted. According to Forrester several items had been moved inside the building and tool boxes were gone through. A garage door that had been shut on Friday was found open. It is believed to be the point of exit and possibly was used to place items into a vehicle, Forrester explained.

Surveillance video is being reviewed.

Forrester noted that total loss was estimated at $1,200.
