(KAIR)--A costly theft of items from a truck parked in Atchison is now under investigation.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the truck, belonging to St. Joseph Plumbing and Heating, had been parked in the 400 block of South 7th Street last weekend.

At some point during the weekend, thieves were able to make off with two toolboxes, a Milwaukee M18 force logic press tool, a Milwaukee black iron air press jaw kit, as well as miscellaneous hand tools that had been in the bed of the truck.

Then, on Monday evening, Wilson said a second theft occurred, with a pipe wrench and tool box stolen from the truck.

The estimated total value of the stolen items is more than $6,000.

Anyone with information related to the crime is asked to call Atchison Police at (913) 367-4323.
