ATCHISON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating a vehicle theft have located the pickup.
Just after 5:30a.m. July 14, a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 pick up pulling a boat and trailer was taken from the 500 Block of Washington Street in Atchison.
The suspects detached the boat and trailer and left it behind in the intersection of 3rd and Laramie in Atchison, according to Police Chief Mike Wilson.
Authorities in Johnson County Missouri located the truck on Friday. However, because the truck was burned it wasn’t until Monday that Atchison Police were notified. It took several days for law enforcement in Johnson County (Missouri) to process the vehicle and locate identifying numbers, according to Wilson.
