(KAIR)--Atchison Police solve two past burglaries, arresting a 15-year-old for his alleged connection to the crimes.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the teen was taken into custody Friday in connection with the two cases, that date back to earlier this year. “On January the 24, a 41-year-old resident in the 700 block of R Street reported the theft of cash, several firearms, liquor, a blanket. Then, on February the 7, a 20-year-old resident in the 900 block of Kansas Avenue reported the theft of a rifle and a wallet. Most of the items taken in these two burglaries were recovered."

Following his arrest, the teen was transported to a juvenile detention facility.

Wilson says it's likely that a second juvenile will also be taken into custody in the near future for involvement in the crimes.
