SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a home invasion burglary in Salina.

Just before 4a.m. Saturday, police responded to an aggravated burglary in the 100 block of West Jewel Avenue in Salina, according to Salina Police Captain James Feldman,

Several individuals had forced their way into a residence and stole a PlayStation 5 gaming console.

A 25-year-old male who lives at the residence reported that he heard some banging on the front door, went to the check, looked through the peephole and didn't observe anyone. He started to head back to a room when he heard banging again. He opened the door, thinking someone needed help. Four individuals dressed in black shoved past him.

The console belonged to the resident’s 36-year-old roommate, who was not home.

The victim told police the suspects were all short and had ski masks on their faces. When they started removing the PlayStation, he went into an adjacent room and grabbed a crowbar and went towards them. At that point, they fled the residence with the PS five and the attachments. The total loss was $755, according to Feldman. 

Anyone with information is urged to call the SPD non-emergency line at (785) 826-7210.
