(KAIR)--A stolen vehicle from Atchison was recovered in Kansas City, Kansas following a pursuit.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said a 2001 Ford pickup truck was taken Friday morning from the 400 block of Kansas Avenue.

Wilson said the vehicle was spotted by the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department traveling in northwest Leavenworth late Sunday night.

The vehicle fled east on Metropolitan Avenue into Missouri where the Platte County Sheriff's Department attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle fled south on Missouri 45 to I-435 and then back into Kansas on I-435.

The pursuit continued to the Legends Mall area in Kansas City where the vehicle became disabled near 106th and Parallel.

Wilson said the 30-year-old male driver from Leavenworth was taken into custody on charges that include possession of stolen property and attempting to elude.

He was taken to the Leavenworth County Jail.

The case remains under investigation.
