A-30-year-old Compage, New York woman is in the Saline County Jail on a requested charge of theft in connection with money being stolen from a cash register on December 11th.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney said Amanda Forester is alleged to have been part of a group of four people that stole $1,200 from a cash register at the Salina Walmart, 2900 S. 9th. The suspects also stole money from a register at the Walmart in Hays the same day.

Sweeney said the suspects went to a register, one used a key to open up the register, while the others were blocking the view to allow money to be taken from the register.

The four suspects were caught at the Walmart in Goodland, and brought back to Ellis County, where they were charged and bonded out of jail.

Forester was booked into the Saline County Jail on a warrant. Sweeney said warrants have also been issued for the other three people involved in the Salina case.
