SALINA – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County say a surveillance app on a cell phone helped capture a burglar.

The owner of Sweet on You Gourmet Chocolate, 157 N. 7th Street in Salina checked surveillance video of the store just after 11:40 p.m. on Friday and noticed someone inside the building, according to Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney.

Police were called and found Charles Jones, 59, was in a locked room of the business.

Entry to the building was gained by breaking a window in a door.

Jones was booked into the Saline County Jail for burglary, theft, obstruction, and damage to property.
