FALUN - A trailer and two ATVs stolen from a business just south of Salina early Wednesday morning were later recovered in Falun.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that an early arriving employee of KanEquip, 3637 S. Ninth Street, notified the sheriff's office just before 5 a.m. Wednesday that at least two people with a pickup had hooked up to a trailer behind the building and were pushing two ATVs onto the trailer. The pickup then headed south from the business.
Because the darkness, the employee was not able to describe the thieves, Soldan said. The thieves cut a chain to get access to the area where the items were located.
The 16-foot flatbed tandem trailer was valued at $2,200. One of the stolen ATVs was a 2015 Polaris valued at $4,600. The other was an unnamed brand ATV valued at $5,400. All three items were at KanEquip for repairs, Soldan said.
Later on Wednesday, a deputy on patrol located the trailer and ATVs in the 100 block of Mound Street in Falun. The trailer and ATVs were returned to KanEquip, Soldan said.
Surveillance video from the area is being reviewed, he said.
