(KAIR)--Two Atchison thefts on Wednesday, resulting in losses over $2,000, are under investigation.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the thefts, believed to be connected, occurred at the AT&T Store, located at 720 U.S. Highway 59, and Walmart, at 1920 U.S. Highway 73.

According to Wilson, the investigation focuses on two persons who first went to Walmart, around 1:00 Wednesday afternoon, and took watches, headphones, and a television, valued at $1,250. Wilson said the pair then went to AT&T where electronic equipment, valued at $967, was stolen.
