(KAIR)--Less than 4-hours after a four wheeler was reported stolen from outside an Atchison address, Atchison Police located, and arrested, a neighbor of the residence where it had been parked when taken without permission.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says the investigation that followed the reported theft led police to 60-year-old David Barajas, Jr., who lived next door to the residence, located in the 1000 block of North 10th Street.
Locating, and arresting Barajas followed the report of the theft, shortly before 4:30 Monday afternoon, with the victim saying the Polaris Scrambler four wheeler, ramps, and a jack, had been stolen sometime between the afternoons of Saturday and Monday.
Once Barajas was determined to have allegedly stolen the four wheeler, he was arrested at his residence around 8:00 Monday night, and booked into the Atchison County Jail on a charge of theft.
The four wheeler was not located by police near either of the residences in the 1000 block of North 10th Street. Instead, Wilson says it was recovered in Buchanan County, Missouri.
