(KAIR)--One arrest is made in connection with the early Sunday morning break-in at an Atchison convenience store.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says his officers were called to Kings Convenience Store, at 912 Unity Street, to investigate an overnight burglary and theft at the business.

Investigators determined the unlawful entry had been made into the store around 2:00 Sunday morning, with cigarettes, lottery tickets, vapes, lighters, beer, and a large quantity of coins, among the items that had been stolen.

Investigators were led to a 17-year-old suspect, who was located Sunday morning, around 10:00, at a residence located just several blocks from the targeted convenience store.

Wilson says the teen was arrested and taken into custody, then later released to a parent. Most of the stolen items have been recovered.

In a separate case of theft, a 26-year-old man is now facing charges in connection with a stolen utility trailer.

According to Wilson, Anthony Akins-Bomhoff was arrested Friday on a District Court warrant charging him with theft. Wilson says the arrest follows the August 19 reported theft of the trailer, which was stolen from outside a residence in the 900 block of August 19. Valued at $2,000, the trailer has since been recovered.

Following his arrest, Akins-Bomhoff was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
