(KAIR)--Few details are made public as an investigation continues following a local area drug raid conducted last week.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, it was around 8:30 Friday morning when his Office assisted the Brown County Sheriff's Office in executing a search warrant at a rural Atchison County residence.

It was while the warrant was served that Laurie says drugs and drug paraphernalia were located in the residence, at 5939 US. Highway 159. There's no word regarding any related arrests. Laurie says the investigation is continuing.

Meanwhile, Atchison County investigators are continuing to follow up on a report of illegal dumping.

Laurie, in a release, says his office was notified Sunday, around noon, by a property owner reporting that trash had been dumped on their property located in the 19000 block of 266th Road, in rural Atchison County.

An investigation began, with the identity of the trash owner obtained from a trash bag. However, Laurie says Deputies made contact with that person, and while the trash is theirs, it “was determined that the owner was not the person who dumped it.” Nonetheless, the original owner did pick up the trash.

According to Laurie, the investigation into the illegal dumping is continuing.
