City police are the victims of an apparent theft after a cruiser was reported stolen late Saturday night.

WMUR-TV reported that an officer taking a domestic violence report exited the location to find the black-and-white cruiser gone.

Authorities closed roads in a 2- to 3-mile radius, and the cruiser, which had a gun in it, was recovered about a half hour with the gun still inside, according to WMUR.

A Laconia dispatcher said Saturday night he was not authorized to release any information, but that a statement would be issued later.
