(KAIR)--A pickup truck, found wrecked and abandoned, leads to an investigation by the Atchison County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News the 2006 White Chevrolet 2500 was discovered overturned in a creek, located west of K-7, in the area of 310th Road and Pratt Road, shortly before 4:30 Friday morning.

The owner, Tyler Molt, when notified of the discovery by a Deputy, reported that it had apparently been stolen from his property, located at 10382 K-7 Highway, sometime after 10:30 Thursday night. "They advised us that they had left the keys in the vehicle, and didn't even realize that the vehicle had been taken until the Deputy knocked on the door. [We're] not really sure what may have occurred, but the vehicle was located not too far from the residence, [where it] actually struck a guardrail on the bridge. [There was] significant damage to the bridge and the vehicle ended up in the creek upside down."

Laurie says nothing was reported missing from inside the truck, and there are no suspects yet identified.

The case remains under investigation, and anyone with related information should contact the Atchison County Sheriff's Office.
