Authorities in Kansas continue to try to connect the dots after a license plate that was reported stolen off of a Salina vehicle was found on another vehicle in Great Bend.

Salina Police Capt. Paul Forrester tells KSAL News that Justin Fischer, 28, Salina realized on Tuesday that the license plate from his Ford Focus had a different tag.

The tag that belongs to Fischer is 582-FZZ. The tag that was allegedly placed on his car incorrectly, read 104-EDA.

The tag came back to a 1997 Sierra pickup, owned by PKM Steel, 238 E. Ave. A, Salina. The business says that the truck is no longer in service and believe that the tag had been stolen sometime in Sept.

SPD put Fischer’s vehicle tag in the stolen tag system.
