(KAIR)--Several unrelated thefts, adding up to thousands of dollars in losses, are under investigation by the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, one of the three thefts was focused on irrigation equipment, with an Atchison resident, on January 25, reporting “that [an] irrigation pivot had wires cut from it,” and “at least three control boxes that had the wires cut from them.”

The crime occurred at 310th Road and Kansas Highway 7, on the west side of the road.

According to Laurie, the value is believed to be in the $2,000 to $3,000 range.

Another of the three thefts involves a log splitter, reported stolen from the yard of the Muscotah owner’s residence.

No suspects are immediately known and the investigation continues.

The loss is estimated at $1,000.

The third theft, that of lumber, is also under investigation.

Laurie, in the release, says it was reported to his office that about 200 pieces of 2x4 lumber was stolen sometime between January 29 and January 30.

The cost of the loss is not immediately stated.

Suspects are being sought in the crime.

Anyone with information related to the thefts should provide any information to 913-367-4323.
