On Thursday, June 6, 2024, at about 9:30 a.m. three males entered Rod’s Convenience store, 1339 N. 9th, Salina, KS. The first subject purchased over a $1000 worth of lottery tickets using a credit card. He stated the tickets were for his aunt.

After the transaction went through, he attempted to purchase $900 worth lottery tickets for himself. He tried to use the same card but it was denied by the clerk due to the suspicious nature of the transaction.

One of the other subjects he was with said he would purchase them and produced another credit card with the same name as listed on the first credit card, however, this was also denied. The subjects then went to Walmart, 2900 S. 9th, Salina, KS, and attempted to cash the lottery tickets. The tickets were suspended and could not be redeemed. The subjects committed the same acts in both Abilene and Lindsborg, Kansas.

The subjects were driving a white Hyundai Tucson which was a rental vehicle.
