MANHATTAN (KSNT) - The Riley County Police Department (RCPD) worked on a string of vehicle thefts and vehicle burglaries on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
According to the RCPD, there were three reported vehicle thefts and two vehicle burglaries on Tuesday. The thefts started at 9:20 a.m. and the last reported theft was at 10:33 a.m. The combined monetary loss associated with the thefts was $28,000.
The vehicle thefts and burglaries happened in the following areas:

RCPD Spokeswoman Ashley Tokoi told 27 News that this number of thefts is abnormal for one day and that the RCPD believes the thefts were connected. She said the truck was seen leaving the city and was later recovered a few blocks from where it was stolen. She said the motorcycles have yet to be recovered.
Back in July, the RCPD reported nine car thefts within 30 days. The RCPD said most of them could've been avoided. The RCPD reminded people to keep valuables out of their cars, keep their vehicles locked and not leave their keys in their cars.
“Four of them have actually been instances where people have left their keys in their vehicles unlocked, making it a pretty easy target for a suspect,” Officer Manning with the RCPD told 27 News in July.
