(KAIR)--A costly theft is being investigated by Atchison Police, who look to the public to assist with finding whoever is responsible.
Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the crime involves the theft of a piece of machinery, known as a root grapple, taken from the 1600 block of U.S. Highway 59. “It actually had been sitting for a period of time in a vacant lot. It was for sale,” Wilson says. “We believe it was taken in recent days, specifically last week. It has a value of about $2,200 and it's about the size of an attachment that would go on a Bobcat.”
Wilson says based on the size, and weight, of the root grapple, it's likely that it took more than one person to take it. However, he says that's not yet confirmed as no suspects have been developed in the case.
Wilson urges anyone with information about the crime to notify his office to help lead both to the recovery of the root grapple and to an arrest.
