(KAIR)--An arrest is made in an attempted Atchison business burglary, while suspects continue to be sought in a separate successful break in.

The first occurred at Nell Hills over the weekend.

“An undisclosed amount of cash was taken,” said Police Chief Mike Wilson. “A forced entry was made by breaking some glass on a door.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Police are also looking into an attempted burglary.

“At 1:20 a.m. officers responded to 401 N. 4^th to investigate suspicious activity near the Van Dyke Grocery Store,” Wilson said.

Officers took 18-year-old Atchison resident Marcus Jones into custody as he attempted to flee the store. He was arrested for attempted burglary, criminal damage to property and possession for alcohol by an underage person.

Wilson said police are seeking a second suspect in that case.

Jones was taken to Atchison County jail.
