A heavily clothed suspect allegedly broke into The Mattress Hub in town on Tuesday and stole a Clover credit card machine after breaking a window to gain entry.
Salina Police Department Capt. James Feldman said on Tuesday, March 12, Mattress Hub employees at 2346 Planet Avenue called SPD around 10 a.m. to report a suspected burglary.
According to Feldman, staff arrived at the business Tuesday morning and found a broken window on the north side of the building and the Clover machine missing.
"An employee arrived at approximately 9:45 that morning and found a window on the north side had been shattered," Feldman said. "It looks like, from what they can say from the video, a subject wearing all dark clothing, a hood and a face covering entered the business. Another video shows that the subject ran westbound away from the business."
The Clover machine was valued at $400, and the broken window caused $1,000 in damage. SPD officers continue to investigate the crime.
Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.
