(KAIR)--A car, stolen Sunday while parked on an Atchison street, has been located.

According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was recovered in Brown County Tuesday morning.

It was located near 120th and Nighthawk Roads, about a mile north of U.S. Highway 73, between the cities of Everest and Horton.

Wilson, in a release, said Atchison Police Detectives Tuesday morning joined the Brown County Sheriff’s Office at the scene where the car was found.

The parked car was stolen from the 1700 block of Atchison’s Utah Street sometime during a 12-hour window Sunday.

The owner parked the car unexpectedly at that location around 1:00 Sunday morning, due to fuel pump problems.
Around 1:00 Sunday afternoon, the man returned to the car expecting to make repairs, but found it missing, and contacted police.

The keys were left inside the car’s console at the time it was stolen.

No information regarding suspects is immediately available
