STOLEN POLICE VEHICLE WITH SHOTGUN POSSIBLY SIGHTED


On Tuesday, October 3rd, 2000, an unmarked Papillion 
police vehicle was stolen from the 41 and 'L' Streets
area. Some police equipment, including a vest with
the word 'Police' written on the front, a shotgun 
and handcuffs were in the car at the time it was 
stolen.

On Thursday, October 5th the Omaha Police Department
received information that this vehicle may have been 
seen attempting to stop a citizen in the area of 72nd 
and Blondo Streets. We have no physical description 
of the suspect at this time.

If this vehicle is observed, please telephone 911 
immediately with the location of the car.

A legitimate police officer must display a police 
badge and photo identification at all times.
If a citizen is stopped by an officer in an 
unmarked vehicle and still has reservations about the 
"undercover officer", they should request that the
officer call for a marked cruiser to come to the scene.
