Chapman police said this past Monday they received reports of numerous vehicle burglaries where valuables were taken during the overnight hours. A vehicle was also reported stole that night.
One tool used in the investigation was a new license plate reader system that the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office placed within the city limits. With the use of that system the vehicle was seen entering Junction City but never left. A short time later it was located by Junction City police.
Chapman police say they feel the crimes were committed by anyone local. They are trying to clear up rumors that may be circulating on social media. The investigation is ongoing. With the help of the JCPD, Riley County Police Department, Topeka Police Department and the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office they are following up on all leads in the case.
