GYPSUM -- A flatbed pickup stolen from a Gypsum automobile lot earlier in June has been recovered in Goddard.
Sometime between June 6-9, someone stole a red 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 flatbed pickup valued at $20,000 from TNT Auto, 210 Maple, in Gypsum. The pickup had large, off-road tires and large, black exhaust stacks.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that someone from the Goddard Police Department called his office early this morning to say that the pickup had been recovered. Soldan said that the manager of the Gypsum automobile lot put information about the pickup out on social media and received several responses that the pickup had been seen in Goddard.
Goddard police reported that the pickup had been spray painted black and was found in the possession of a 33-year-old Hutchinson man, Soldan said.
The investigation into the theft is continuing, he said.
