(KNZA)--An investigation is underway regarding a stolen pickup truck belonging to the City of Hiawatha.
It was earlier this week that the discovery was made in the 1700 block of Iowa Street, in Hiawatha, where the truck was located.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant told MSC News a deputy on routine patrol was the first to spot the vehicle around 3:30 Monday morning. “He noticed a Hiawatha City truck. The door was open, the engine was running, and noticed a broken passenger side window out. He checked the businesses around there, didn’t see anybody that was around there trying to break in, but evidently they had left. He did inform the City and they recovered their vehicle.”
According to a news release from Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore, officers responded to the scene where the 2001 Dodge pickup truck was located.
Officers processed the vehicle for evidence left behind, and the vehicle was then released back to the City of Hiawatha.
According to Defore, the investigation is continuing, with his department following leads to identify suspects involved in the case.
Anyone with related information is asked to call the Hiawatha Police Department at 785-742-2156.
