(KAIR)--A father and son from Atchison, wanted in connection with three Jackson County burglaries, are now in custody.

Sheriff Tim Morse says his office received a tip that 44-year-old Chad Gorrell Sr. and 22-year-old Chad Gorrell Jr. were hiding at a residence in Topeka.

Topeka Police were notified and the two, who were considered armed and dangerous, were taken into custody Wednesday.

Booked into the Jackson County Jail, they each are held on a bond of $50,000.

Already in custody at the time of their arrests was 31-year-old Hiawatha resident Cassandra Hughes. She was arrested in Topeka Tuesday after investigators were led to a car that had been spotted in the area of two of the Jackson County burglaries.

The vehicle had been stolen from Saint Joseph.

Hughes is jailed in Jackson County, held on a bond of $50,000, also in connection with the burglaries.

A search of a Hiawatha residence, following her arrest, led to the recovery of items Morse says are believed connected with the Monday burglaries.
