ATCHISON COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating the theft of two stolen pickups.

At 5a.m. on Tuesday police officers responded to the area of the Brookdale Addition on the northwest side of Atchison in an attempt to locate a 2023 Ford F-150 pickup truck reported stolen in Holt County Missouri, according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.
