Narrative:

Veh gained access to airport through opened gate (airport authority/authorized, for a local business). Veh was spotted by ground on a non-movement ramp. Veh was similar to vehicles used by airport authority that had just been on that ramp. Veh proceeded onto taxiway C and G, turned right on taxiway D. Atx X was on short final. Tower advised aircraft we were not in contact with veh. Veh crossed hold line and held short of the runway. Atx X landed with reverser and brakes and held aircraft short of interception of D and runway 31. Atx X was then instructed to turn left on D to ramp. Veh then entered onto runway 31 and proceeded 2000' down runway before being intercepted by the airport authority.
