(KAIR)--An Atchison residential burglary that occurred last week has led police to who they say was behind the crime.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 35-year-old James Gilliland was arrested Saturday for burglary and theft.
According to Wilson, the 57-year-old resident of the home, located in the 400 block of North 2nd Street, reported to Police Friday that a burglary had occurred sometime between 6:50 that morning and 12:20 that afternoon.
Reported as missing from the residence were several firearms and several knives.
The investigation that followed receipt of the report led police to Gilliland who was apprehended around 1:30 Saturday morning.
Following his arrest, Gilliland was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
According to Wilson, the stolen firearms and knives have been recovered.
A separate investigation into the theft of a car has partially been solved.
