Police are investigating the theft of a pickup and trailer from a Salina construction company over the weekend.

Sometime between 5 p.m. Friday and 6:30 a.m. Monday, someone entered a fenced-in area and stole the following from Smoky Hill Construction, 1615 W. Magnolia Road, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

●A 2001 Dodge Ram pickup with a Kansas license plate of 620980

●A black dual-axle trailer with Kansas license plate of 567065

Both the pickup and the trailer had company decals on them.

It is believed that the thief attempted to steal a Ford F150 belonging to the company, however the pickup was found stuck in the mud behind the business, Forrester said.

Additionally, an employee-owned pickup that was parked at the business had both the headlights and taillights removed and a window broken, Forrester said.

Total loss was estimated at just under $11,000, he said.
