Salina Police Department Officers are investigating the theft of multiple guns from two different residences in Salina.
A 61-year-old Salina woman told police yesterday that she recently discovered someone stole a Ruger SR9 handgun from her home, Salina Police Capt. James Feldman said this morning. The gun was valued at $500.
The victim told officers she let two individuals stay with her in April 2023. Feldman said these two individuals are being considered suspects.
According to the victim, another unknown suspect stole two more firearms she stored at a friend's home in the 100 block of South Third Street.
She stored a Ruger 57 and a Ruger Carbine at the friend's house, who told the victim last month someone had stolen the guns.
"In November 2023 she had taken two guns to a friend's house," Feldman said. "She noticed last month they were missing. She stated she had shown them [guns] to a friend and then the person who lives at the house stated he later saw the friend running out of the house with both guns."
