(KAIR)--An investigation is launched following the illegal dumping of tires on private Atchison County property.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the report was made Sunday.

He says rural Atchison resident Ryan Weber reported that someone threw 10 tires out of their truck and into a creek on the property, located on Pawnee Road, at the Deer Creek Bridge.

Laurie says there are possible suspects in the case, but an arrest is not yet made, as the investigation continues.

According to Laurie, the location has long been a site used for illegal dumping.
