(KAIR)--Another stolen vehicle is located in Atchison County; and, like a similar case last week, had been burned and abandoned.

A release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says it was around 8:30 Saturday morning that deputies were called to 244th and River Road, located in rural Atchison County, due to the discovery of a burned, unoccupied pickup truck.

A similar vehicle had been reported by Doniphan County authorities as having been stolen from Wathena between 4 and 7:30 that same morning, with investigating deputies determining the vehicles were the same.

The owner of the pickup was notified of its discovery, with the truck later towed from the scene.

Walnut Township firefighters assisted at the scene of the truck's discovery, with the burned vehicle found to still be hot from the fire.

The investigation is continuing.

Last week, on Thursday, Atchison Police and Fire worked together after a stolen pickup truck was discovered, that morning, fully engulfed in flames inside Atchison's Jackson Park, 1500 South 6th Street.

The truck, believed to have been a case of arson, had earlier been stolen from Weston, Missouri, with police from that location investigating the case in conjunction with Atchison Police.
