(KNZA)--Two men were arrested early Tuesday morning following a break-in at a Jackson County salvage yard.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said shortly before 4:00 deputies reported seeing two men at the Netawaka Salvage yard near 330th and U.S. 75 Highway.

Deputies and other area law enforcement secured a perimeter around the salvage yard.

A Jackson County Sheriff’s Office drone and K-9 were used in the search. The drone located a man just east of the salvage yard lying in a field. Shortly thereafter, a second man was located by the drone in a soybean field east of the property and east of U.S. Hwy 75.

59-year-old Ronald Wieland Jr. and 49-year-old Michael Young, both of Topeka, were booked into the Jackson County Jail for suspicion of burglary, attempted theft and drug charges.

Assisting in the search were the Kansas Highway Patrol, Kickapoo Police Department, Holton Police Department, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, and Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office
