(KAIR)--Two men, accused of stealing from a parked, Atchison vehicle, are in custody.

That word is delivered in a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, who says 52-year-old Louie Martin, of Atchison, and 39-year-old Brett Johnson, of Lansing, were both apprehended Wednesday in the 1900 block of South U.S. Highway 73.

Their arrests came following a late Wednesday morning police investigation focused on the theft of items from a pick-up truck, parked in the area of the arrests. Taken was a carton of cigarettes, binoculars, and a leather cigarette case.

According to Wilson, all of the stolen items have been recovered.

Martin and Johnson were both arrested on charges of burglary and theft.
