The Saline County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after 250 gallons of fuel was stolen from a rural firehouse sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon.

Deputies were called to Rural Fire District #5 Thursday after volunteers discovered the locks on the fuel tank had been damaged and $550 in gas was poured into a mobile tank and stolen.

Thieves caused nearly $100 in damages to the locks and fuel nozzle at the facility, located at 1800 N. Simpson Road in east Saline County.
