Atchison Co burglary probe leads to recovery of stolen items, one arrest

(KAIR)--Atchison County authorities say a burglary and theft investigation has led to the recovery of stolen property and an arrest.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, deputies served a search warrant Wednesday at 806 North 9th Street. The warrant followed a March 22 report of burglaries involving separate storage units at 10543 U.S. 59 Highway.

The sheriff’s office says a California resident reported items stolen from his unit including a BBQ grill and utensils, a cooler, a canopy, and other property, while an Atchison resident reported items stolen from her unit including a push mower, weed eater, air compressor, carpet shampooer, heater, a tote, and other miscellaneous items.

Laurie says many of the items were recovered during the search warrant, along with suspected narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

The sheriff’s office says Thomas C. Jones was arrested at the Atchison County Jail on multiple counts of burglary, criminal damage, and theft, and remains in custody.

Laurie says the investigation is continuing into the alleged narcotics that were recovered.
