Arkansas City police are investigating several burglaries and thefts that occurred over the weekend.
Officers were checking businesses early Saturday morning when two suspicious people were noticed walking in the 100 block of W. Spruce Avenue. The men identified themselves as Luther Turner, 24, and Seth Fultz, 19, both of Ark City, according to a police report.
Turner had a pry bar hidden in his pants. Car wash tokens and other property from Rakie’s Oil in the 300 block of N. Summit Street were found. The business had been burglarized, officers discovered.
Both men were taken into custody. Turner assured police that Fultz was not involved and had met up with him after he burglarized the company. Fultz was underage and was charged with minor in consumption. Turner was charged with Burglary. Bond was set at $6,000.
