FRANKLIN COUNTY — Franklin County Sheriff’s Investigators are currently working investigations involving two stolen vehicles taken from rural Mulkeytown recently.

Sheriff Don Jones says a stolen vehicle was recovered in the same area that had been reported stolen in the state of Kansas. These vehicles are believed to be linked to numerous crimes and other vehicle thefts happening the last week of July in Jackson, Perry, Franklin and Clinton counties in Illinois and in Kansas.

Jones noted that one of the vehicles reported stolen in Mulkeytown has been recovered in Jackson County, while the second vehicle has been recovered in Kansas City, Kansas.
The sheriff says several juveniles are believed to have been involved and leads are being pursued at this time.

Investigators from multiple jurisdictions are cooperating in this investigation.
