Attention Pleasanton Kansas Residents

The City of Pleasanton Kansas has suffered multiple auto burglaries and three vehicle thefts in the past few days. We ask that residents remove the keys from your vehicles and lock the doors to assist in the prevention of this activity. We also ask that you lock up your valuables and not leave them visible in your vehicles. 

If you see any suspicious activity, please call 911 immediately. Do not wait and assume someone else will report it.

One of the recovered vehicles was not operating properly and the assailants pulled the vehicle off the roadway and used the vehicle for target practice, shooting multiple holes in the vehicle. This tells us that the assailants are armed, and they are not afraid to utilize their weapons in a public place. I ask our citizens to be vigilant in reporting suspicious activities.

The Pleasanton Police Department is working the cases mentioned and developing leads to follow. If you see something odd or abnormal, again, please make a report of the issue, no matter how big or small it may seem.

We have some gas station surveillance footage that will release before the end of the day. We hope that everyone will check back soon so we can work on identifying the subjects who are involved in the acts.
