Salina Police Department (SPD) officers responded to the Budget King Motel at 809 North Broadway Boulevard Wednesday morning after a resident reported that someone had entered his room and stolen a few items and thousands of dollars in cash.
At about 11 a.m., Wednesday, June 12, the 41-year-old Salina man reported to officers that he saw his 75-inch television sticking halfway out his door once he returned to his room.
"While he was gone, between 10 and 10:30 a.m., unknown subjects entered his residence and attempted to steal a 75-inch television, but it was still in the doorway," said SPD Capt. James Feldman. "What was taken was an unknown make DVR system and a money bag with approximately $3,000."
Considering the attempted stolen television, Feldman said the total loss totaled $3,800. Officers found no evidence of forced entry.
The stolen DVR set was a crucial part of the motel's camera system, so officers continued looking for evidence outside of video footage.
Feldman said there are no suspects at this time for the burglary.
Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.
