UPDATE: Another trailer theft has occurred at a Salina alcohol distribution center–the second one in the same week–and law enforcement believe that they are related.

Back on Oct. 10, police says that a distribution truck and trailer were both stolen from Pestinger Distributing, 1825 Bailey Dr., resulting in an over $100,000 loss. This was reported on this Monday.

Salina Police Capt. Paul Forrester tells KSAL News that the latest theft occurred at Crown Distribution, 606 N. Ohio St., at 6:20 p.m. on Oct. 9. An enclosed 2000 ATLS trailer with Coors logos on both sides is reported as stolen from the facility.

Crown Distribution’s surveillance shows a white Chevorlet Z71 pickup pull on to the lot. A male subject wearing a dakr hat, plain white t-shirt, dark athletic shorts, tall dark socks and dark shoes gets out of the truck and hooks on the trailer, before leaving out of the parking lot.

The trailer is valued at $12,500.

The Oct. 10 theft shows what appears to be the same white truck on camera during the theft.

Forrester says that police are investigating these two incidents as related because of the same vehicle description and trailer used in the previous reported case.
