(KAIR)--Atchison Police are seeking the identity of whoever is to blame for committing the burglary of two cars last weekend, only to have their ill gotten gains left behind when the crime was interrupted.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, forced entry was made into two vehicles that were parked in the 2600 block of Industrial Road shortly before 8:30 Sunday morning.

Taken from the two vehicles were tools and miscellaneous items that were later recovered, near the burglary scene, by police. According to Wilson, that- because the suspect took off when a person happened upon the area where the two vehicles were parked, leaving the suspect to abandon the items in order to escape.

The investigation is continuing, and anyone with information related to the crime is asked to call Atchison Police at 913-367-4323.
