Police are investigating the theft of multiple items from a central Salina apartment earlier this week.

Rebecca McGary, 41, of Salina, who had been away from her apartment in the 600 block of S. Second Street for a couple of days, told police that when she returned on Thursday, she saw a person leaving her apartment, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The person was described as a shorter, skinny Black male with two- to three-inch dreadlocks and wearing red and black sweats. He left southbound on foot.

The door to McGary's apartment appeared to have been kicked in and the following items were known to be missing, Forrester said.

●A 65-inch Samsung television valued at $600

●An HP laptop valued at $300

●A red and black Jordan hoodie valued at $100

Forrester said McGary was working to get a complete list of missing items to police.

Damage to the door was estimated at $50, he said.

McGary was booked into the Saline County Jail Tuesday afternoon on multiple theft and criminal use of a financial card charges, according to Saline County Jail booking information.
