A south Salina store is checking its register keys to make sure all are accounted for after someone opened a register and took $1,700 worth of $20 bills Tuesday night.

Just after 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, a subject went to the register in the electronics department at Walmart, 2900 S. Ninth Street, and removed 85 $20 bills, according to Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus.

The entry into the register was not forced.

Based on surveillance video, the suspect is described as a Black male wearing a light blue shirt, blue jeans, a black face mask, and a gray hat, Hanus said. The suspect is not believed to be employed at the store.

It is believed that the suspect left the Walmart parking lot in a white van, however, additional surveillance video is being reviewed to verify that, Hanus said.
