(KAIR)--Forced entry into the control room of an Atchison car wash leads to an investigation by Atchison Police.

Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the crimes of burglary and theft happened sometime in the early morning hours of Monday.

It was then that someone forced their way into the area of the Irish Mist Car Wash, located in the 900 block of U.S. Highway 59 and took what Wilson says was a small amount of cash.

The investigation is continuing.

Atchison County authorities are also investigating a theft, with the crime reportedly occurring in rural Effingham.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, resident Robert Jones reported that an aluminum cargo carrier was stolen off of his four wheeler, which had been parked on a trailer located in his driveway.

The theft, valued at around $160, is believed to have occurred sometime between 4:00 Sunday afternoon and 2:00 Monday morning.

Anyone with information about either of the two crimes should contact Atchison area authorities.
