CA Police Vehicle Stolen – Equipment and drug dealer list missing
Found on 2/10/04 - East Palo Alto, CA
Two guys who fight crime have now become victims.
According to police in East Palo Alto, California, two undercover officers who were after a suspected drug dealer were in such a hurry that they left the keys in their pickup.
Someone stole the truck, along with ammunition, a police radio and a confidential list of alleged drug dealers.
Chief Wes Bowling says the city-owned truck was found about 20 minutes later. But the confidential document and equipment are still missing.
Bowling says the incident occurred earlier this month. But he won’t say if the hasty officers will be disciplined for their oversight.
