(KNZA)--Two young men have been charged in connection with a Hiawatha residential burglary.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 21-year-old Timothy Cooke, of Atchison, and 18-year-old Josh Sangrait, of Hiawatha, were arrested last week following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department into a residential burglary at 208 Cherokee on February 26th where several firearms were stolen.
According to the criminal complaint, entrance was gained by kicking in a back door. Stolen were two rifles and two handguns, with a value of more than $1,000 but less than $25,000.
Cooke has been charged in Brown County District Court with burglary, felony theft, criminal possession of a firearm and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. He made his first appearance in court Monday, where a preliminary hearing was set for March 23rd.
Sangrait has been charged with burglary, felony theft and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. He’s scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
Cooke was arrested by the Atchison County Sheriff's Department early Friday morning on a Brown County warrant and turned over to Brown County authorities. Sangrait was arrested earlier last week.
Cooke remains in the Brown County Jail on a $40,000 bond, while Sangrait is currently free on a $20,000 bond.
