At approximately 04:25 this morning, the Cass County Communications Center received a call from a security company of door and motion alarms at Nishna Valley Cycle in Atlantic. Officers with the Atlantic Police Department arrived on scene by 4:29 AM and found that there was damage caused to the side of the building and there appeared to be missing inventory.

Three individuals enter the building and load four dirt bikes into the back of the vehicle. The vehicle then leaves the parking lot.
