Police are investigating two stolen vehicle cases in different parts of Salina.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that the two cars were stolen sometime between 9:30 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday.
Timothy Crough, 64, of Salina, reported that his blue 2000 Lincoln Town Car was stolen from in front of his residence in the 100 block of N. Columbia Avenue. The car was valued at $5,000.
Abigail Hunter, 27, of Salina, reported that her red 2016 Ford Mustang was stolen from in front of her residence in the 800 block of Highland Avenue. Hunter told police that the keys were locked inside an enclosed porch.
Forrester said that at 9:15 p.m. Monday, both vehicles were located behind Russell's Restaurant, 649 Westport Boulevard, after Hunter's insurance company pinged the Mustang and reported its location. The cars were parked side by side. Forrester said police believe the thefts are connected.
Both sets of keys remain missing.
