(KAIR)--An early Wednesday morning burglary, targeting the management office of an Atchison apartment complex, is investigated, with police searching for the armed suspect.

A release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says it happened around 4:00 in the morning, at the office of the Massasoit Apartments, located in the 200 block of North 3rd Street.

According to Wilson’s report, the suspect, as the door to the office was opened by an apartment employee who discovered the crime in progress, pointed a handgun at the employee, who was able to escape safely and call police.

Following the management office burglary that Wilson said resulted in the theft of a handgun and cash, the same suspect went to the door of a residence, located in the 200 block of North 4th Street, about 90 minutes after the office burglary.

Wilson said the suspect, at the residence, confronted the occupant, displaying a gun during a conversation that ended with no one hurt, and nothing stolen, when the suspect left the area.

Wilson describes the suspect as a stocky white man, standing 6-foot-2-inches, with a slick bald head and a gray haired goatee with a rubber band around it. He was last known to be wearing a gray sweatshirt and bleach-blue jeans.

Anyone with information should contact police at 913-367-4323.

The investigation is continuing.
