(KAIR)--One teen, and two men, are in custody, arrested Monday in connection with a Jackson County burglary.

They were apprehended following a search involving numerous law enforcement agencies, which included the use of aircraft.

The trio is identified as 21-year-old Ty Daniel Haire, of Mayetta, 20-year-old Robert Anthony Witmer, of Topeka, and a 17-year-old boy, of Hoyt.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said the search for the three began after a homeowner discovered a break in at 18075 98th Roads, in southeastern Jackson County.

Just prior to the discovery, the resident spotted a suspicious vehicle leaving that location.

The resident located the vehicle broken down near 98th and V. 4 Road, and authorities, including the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol searched for the occupants.

Later learning that they had been provided a ride by a passerby who took the suspects to Topeka, the focus of the investigation turned to that Shawnee County location.

With two persons spotted in a wooded area near the residence it was believed they had been taken to, and with Shawnee County Sheriff's Deputies assisting, one arrest was made with the assistance of a Kansas Highway Patrol K-9 unit.

The two other suspects were located, and apprehended, a short time later.

All three were booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of aggravated burglary and theft.

Morse says the trio allegedly wore masks during the burglary and are also suspected of allegedly committing another half dozen burglaries in surrounding counties.
