(KAIR)--Atchison County authorities are working to find why a stolen car was found ablaze Monday afternoon.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, deputies responded to 206th and Rawlins Road, around 4:40 Monday afternoon, following the report of a vehicle on fire. When they arrived, they found Leavenworth County Fire Department firefighters engaged in extinguishing the fire.

Once put out, an investigation was launched, with deputies discovering that the license plate on the vehicle, identified as a 2011 Kia Sorento SUV, was stolen, and belonged to Overland Park’s Budget Rental. It was also learned that the SUV had been reported stolen from Lansing a few hours prior to it being found on fire.

According to Laurie, suspects in the case may have been seen leaving the location of the Kia’s discovery in a black vehicle.

Anyone with information related to the case should contact the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office at 913-367-4323.
