Narrative:
While working arrival radar; I noticed a VFR target from the mkc airport area climbing northwest bound into the class B airspace out of 3;000 ft. Tagged target with aircraft Y and observed it climbing up to 3;500 ft; still northwest bound. I had aircraft X on vector to final runway 1L at 3;000 ft; mkc called and advised they were talking to aircraft and descending. I advised them that aircraft needed to descend fast; I had aircraft X on vector to join final. I observed aircraft Y to turn southwest bound toward my aircraft X; I called traffic alert and vectored aircraft X away from target and then back to final north of aircraft Y. Aircraft Y continued southwest bound and descended below the class B airspace toward lwc. Advised flm (front line manager); who called and talked to mkc and got the aircraft call sign and possible destination. Recommendation; it appeared mkc gave aircraft a discrete code; if this is true; then mkc should always add in with code to remain outside of class B (which they might do). If aircraft was not on discrete code then they should try to advise VFR aircraft to remain outside of class B.
