An investigation in to stolen sports memorabilia leads to the arrest of two Salina roommates and two others found at the residence in possession of drugs.

Salina Police Capt. Paul Forrester tells KSAL News that authorities were following up on a burglary that occurred on April 30 at The Arena, 427 S. Broadway Blvd., where $3,035 worth of sports memorabilia was stolen.

On Saturday, an officer on patrol made contact with 54-year-old Ronald Moore, Salina, a subject who appeared to match the description of the burglary suspect caught on the store’s surveillance video.
