(KAIR)--Two thefts, totaling thousands of dollars in losses, are being investigated in Atchison.

Police Chief Mike Wilson says among items missing is a 16-foot aluminum trailer, reported stolen on Thursday. “It's an equipment trailer that was taken from the 200 block of East Riley,” Wilson tells MSC News. “It was outside of a residence. The owner had saw it on Wednesday and then noticed midday on Thursday that it had been taken, so we would assume it was taken Wednesday night. Had a value of about $4,000.”

Wilson says the other missing item, taken in a separate case, is identified as a log splitter. “We're also investigating the theft of a Forest King log splitter. It's the type of equipment that can be pulled behind a vehicle. It was taken outside of a residence in the 600 block of S Street, reported to us on Wednesday. In that case, the owner had saw it on Tuesday evening, noticed on Wednesday afternoon it was missing, so we assume it was taken sometime during the night on Tuesday night. Had a value of about $1,500.”

Police currently have identified no suspects in connection with the thefts.

Wilson says anyone with information related to the crimes is encouraged to call his office to help with the investigation.
