Arrested in connection with the crimes is 24-year-old Kyler Reynolds, who Atchison Police say was arrested early Wednesday morning during a burglary in progress at an Atchison Church.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, Reynolds was arrested at 3:30 Wednesday morning inside the First Christian Church, located at 7th and Santa Fe Streets. Arrested for burglary, Reynolds was also wanted on a Jackson County warrant for failure to appear. He was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Reynolds is also accused of two Wednesday morning burglaries, including the one at the First Christian Church that led to his arrest, and Marie's Tax and Bookkeeping, in the 800 block of Santa Fe Street, nearby the church.
According to Wilson, additional burglaries, including one at Young Dragon Chinese Restaurant, in the 800 block of U.S. Highway 59, remain under investigation. Unlawful entry was made in the restaurant Monday night, with cash and a small amount of food taken.
