(KAIR)--Three of four vehicles stolen this year from the City of Atchison have been recovered, including the latest to be taken.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the truck was located around 8:00 Friday morning. “That’s a 2006 Chevrolet pickup truck,” Wilson said. “That truck was recovered in a wooded area near 22nd and Main.”

The pickup truck was stolen sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from the 1000 block of North 4th Street, the same location where another vehicle, which remains missing, was stolen late last month. “The first one was a 2207 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, taken on the early morning hours of March 31. We have been working with Leavenworth Police on this investigation, because we believe that vehicle to be in the Leavenworth area. Actually, that vehicle is involved in a current Leavenworth Police investigation on a criminal case they’re working.”

Arrests have not been made in those two cases, and anyone with information should contact Atchison Police at 913-367-4323.

The other two vehicles stolen this year include a 2012 Dodge Durango, stolen from the 500 block of Riley Street during the early morning of February 2. It was later recovered in the 600 block of Park Street. Suspects are not yet in custody for that crime.

A 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck was stolen from the 900 block of Kansas Avenue during the early morning hours of January 4, but was recovered early the next morning on the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth County. Two arrests have been made in connection with that case.

Wilson said 35-year-old Kansas City, Missouri resident Meysam Aghorlikhani and 33-year-old Stephanie Harris, of Topeka, were both arrested by the Kansas Highway Patrol for possession of stolen property and booked into the Leavenworth County Jail.
