(KAIR)--The Atchison County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an attempted residential break-in that might be connected to a vehicle theft in the City of Atchison.

The agency, meanwhile, is investigating a vehicle theft case of its own.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the attempted break-in happened in the 5000 block of Ottawa Road Sunday night.

The 62-year-old homeowner confronted the suspect, who fled from the residence in a black SUV.

A broken window was discovered in the rear of the residence, while damage was found to the screen door in the front. Damage was also found inside the home where a dresser and shelving had been damaged.

Laurie told MSC News it’s believed the case is connected to the theft of a riding mower and vehicle in Atchison on Sunday evening.

The investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s Office is seeking whoever is responsible for the theft of a Ford F-150, stolen while parked a residence in the 4000 block of Osage Road, in rural Atchison County.

Reported to the Sheriff’s Office late Sunday morning, Laurie said the vehicle was located by deputies at the intersection of 242nd Road and Osborne Road. It was still running when it was found.

The owner reported that fishing equipment, valued at $800, had been stolen from the truck.

Laurie said while investigators aren’t yet ruling out a connection to the other recent vehicle theft cases, there’s not yet anything linking it to the others.
