A business trailer that was stolen in downtown Salina earlier this week was later found west of town.
A 16-foot enclosed trailer owned by Restore, 210 E. Walnut Street, was stolen from the 100 block of S. Fifth Street sometime between 5:45 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this afternoon.
Restore employees told police the trailer, valued at $7,000, was used to store equipment. The trailer was described as being white in color with Restore logos on the sides.
At approximately 11 a.m. Tuesday, a witness called police to report an abandoned trailer in the 3700 block of W. Cloud Street west of Salina. Officers went to that location and discovered the Restore trailer, which had been broken into, Forrester reported.
Several items with a total estimated value of more than $1,000, were missing from the trailer. Those items included the following, according to Forrester.
An orange Generac 5000 generator
A blue air compressor
Miscellaneous tools and supplies
