Hays Police are investigating a break-in to the Reed Center — a facility that provides training and educational classes for the developmentally disabled.

According to Lt. Brandon Wright, employees at the Reed Center, which is located at 317 W. 13th and operated by Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas, called police at approximately 8 a.m. Tuesday when they arrived at work to see the sliding glass doors of the entrance wide open.

Wright said there were a few scratches to the door, and it appeared someone had pried the doors open.

According to Wright, the incident is under investigation, but so far it looks as if the only item taken was food stored in a freezer.

Wright also said according to the building’s surveillance systems, the cameras were triggered at 9:11 p.m. Monday. Investigators are examining the footage.

Meanwhile, Steve Keil, DSNWK director of development, is thankful the incident happened after hours.

“Fortunately, no one was in the building, no-one was hurt and there was no damage,” he said.

Wright encourages anyone with information to call the HPD at (785) 625-1030.
