Authorities are investigating a burglary and vehicle theft that occurred over the weekend at an east Manhattan car dealership.
The Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to Manhattan Ford Monday morning after learning someone had broken into the building and stolen property — including a 2025 Ford F-350 pickup valued at more than $100,000.
The stolen truck was later recovered within the county. Detectives, with assistance from the Riley County Police Department, identified and located a 16-year-old Manhattan boy in connection with the case, who was interviewed. Some of the stolen items were recovered.
The Sheriff’s Office says the case remains under investigation and will be forwarded to the Pottawatomie County Attorney’s Office for possible charges.
