(KAIR)--An Atchison County investigation, dating back to late February when a local resident reported that someone had apparently entered her home and unwrapped a present, has led to one arrest.

Taken into custody Monday was 19-year-old Blayne Williams who Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says was identified as a suspect during the investigation.

A resident of Atchison, Williams lived close to the sight of the February 5 crime, which occurred at a residence located at 8324 Freemont Street, in Atchison.

According to a release from Laurie, the investigation led to the issuance of a warrant for Williams, who was taken into custody Monday on the Atchison County District Court warrant charging him for burglary, theft, and criminal damage.
Following his arrest, Williams was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

His bond is set at $30,000.

The investigation also led to the identification of another suspect, a 17-year-old Topeka boy, with Laurie indicating in the release that he, too, is charged in warrant.

The investigation began when the victim reported that she had left her house on the late morning of February 25 for about 15 to 20 minutes, only to return home to find that a package she had wrapped that morning had been unwrapped.
