(KAIR)--A third arrest, in connection with a Christmas Day, Atchison residential burglary, has been made.

That's according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, which says 38-year-old Joseph Dyer was arrested Sunday evening, around 6:20, in the 1200 block of Guthrie Circle. He was taken into custody on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with theft.

According to Wilson, the warrant was issued in connection with a police investigation focused on the theft of items during a December 25, 2022 burglary in the 300 block of North 3rd Street.

According to Wilson, forced entry was made into the residence while the occupants, all Benedictine College students, were away on Christmas break.

Some of the stolen items, ranging from clothing to electronics, have been recovered.

Dyer is the third arrest made in connection with the case.

Following his Sunday evening arrest, Dyer was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
