Security cameras lead to an arrest.

Following a string of burglaries beginning in May, the Saline County Sherriff's Office arrested David Ryals, 37 of Assaria.

Ryals stole a tackle box from a shed earlier this month. The owner of the shed had a camera set up and took a picture of Ryals and his truck. The box was later recovered in McPherson County.

The Saline County Sherriff's Office had a warrant for his arrest.

A home in the 7000 block of S. Ohio reported their Salina Journal newspapers were being stolen. The Sherriff's Office put a camera on the mailbox while the family was on vacation. A total of 20 newspapers had been stolen. The camera took a picture of the theif and discovered it to be Ryals' truck.

Ryals was then arrested. After his arrest, Ryals admitted to stealing curtains from a home in Smolan in early June, and stealing a jar of change from a home on Burma Road. Both of these homes received damage to the doors.

Ten newspapers were also taken by Ryals in the 1200 block of E. Lapsley.

He must be a perpetual thief. He's the same guy that was arrested for burglary at the retirement home on Magnolia a while back. Classy guy. Makes you wonder how many things he was able to steal and for how long he stole before getting caught.

Sad thing is, if this is who I think it is, When his father passed away, he inherited a decent amount of money, His Dad would be turning in his grave over this!!
