Authorities have located a vehicle stolen in St. Joseph that authorities had warned area residents to be on the lookout for in relation to a possible burglary investigation.

Platte County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jeffrey Shanks said the vehicle was found in Buchanan County by the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office.

Captain Erik Holland of the Platte County Sheriff’s Office warned Tuesday that four men in a white Chevy Tahoe went to homes in northern Platte County as well as southern Buchanan County, and were knocking on both the front and back doors at the same time. When residents appeared the men stated they were soliciting lawn mowing services.

The vehicle was later confirmed to be a stolen auto out of St. Joseph, MO. At this time, no burglaries have been reported from these incidents.

Shanks said the vehicle was found abandoned with no one inside. He said the identities of the subjects are still unknown.
