A robbery was reported in the early morning hours of Wednesday, December 2.
Officers were dispatched to Hawthorne Apartments, at 715 N 9th, for the call of a robbery at 2:05 am. The victim, a 38-year-old female from Salina, reports that she was sitting on a bench underneath the gazebo, just north of the apartments.
A white Dodge Charger, or possibly a Dodge Challenger, turned onto 9th St from Woodland. The victim was looking at her phone when she was approached from behind by a subject described as a white male wearing a beanie, jacket, jeans, and shoes, all dark in color.
As the subject approached, he allegedly demanded the victim's property and produced a black handgun. The male then grabbed the victim's backpack and took off running. The subject got into the same white vehicle that the victim had seen pass by before and left southbound on 10th St.
Within the victim's backpack that was allegedly taken were cigarettes and several IDs. Total loss is valued at $70.
