Game Machine Damaged, Cash Stolen at West Crawford Gas Station

Salina Police are investigating a theft and property damage incident that occurred at a gas station located at 2140 West Crawford.

The incident took place at approximately 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday while the business was open. The proprietor reported that a game machine located in a back room of the store had been forcibly pried open, resulting in an unknown amount of cash being stolen.

Surveillance video shows a suspect described as a male wearing a dark mask fully covering his face. The suspect entered the store while other customers were present, went directly to the game room, and pried open the machine. The suspect then briefly exited the area before returning to complete the theft and leave the business with the stolen money.

Due to the suspect’s clothing and face covering, identification is currently limited. The business is still working to determine the exact amount of money taken.

Officers are reviewing surveillance footage from the gas station and surrounding businesses, including a nearby hotel, as part of the ongoing investigation. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Salina Police Department.

The investigation remains ongoing.
