The owner of the property notified police after he saw someone in the building via his remote surveillance system. When officers arrived, they found Pierce Hall, 18, of Salina, Fidel Garcia, 18, of Salina, and a 17-year-old inside the building. It was learned that the three were attempting to steal property from inside, Salina Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges reported this morning.

The three were arrested on requested charges of burglary and theft, according to Tonniges. Hall and Garcia also face a requested charge of contributing to a child's misconduct, Tonniges added.
