SALINA — A burglar was caught in the act early Wednesday morning but eluded capture.
Salina Police Capt. Mike Sweeney said a maintenance man at All Star Lanes bowling alley, 624 S. Broadway, discovered the break-in just before 5 a.m.
The employee confronted the burglar as he was coming out of the office through a broken window in the door. The suspect ran out of the business through the rear door of the building.
Police said it appears nothing was taken, but the burglar caused approximately $1,000 in damage, including to an office safe.
The suspect was described as a 5 foot, 10 inch white male weighing between 180 and 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black pants and camouflage mask.
