TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
A
local police officer had two guns and other items stolen from his car
overnight, and police are trying to find those responsible.
A
Fostoria Police officer's car was parked outside of his Toledo home near South
Detroit and Oxbridge roads. The officer woke up Thursday morning to find his
car window smashed, and several items taken. A bag, one of his own guns, one of
the department's guns, his wallet and his police badger were all missing.
Toledo
Police are now trying to figure out who is responsible. They say tips and a
watchful eye from neighbors can help prevent something like this from happening
again.
"That's
why it's very important that people in the community keep a look out and notice
if people are going around, up and down your street, maybe see if they're
looking inside of cars," said Sgt. Joe Heffernan of the Toledo Police
Department.
The
officer's wallet and badge were dropped or discarded, and found by a student
walking to school Friday morning. The student turned them in, but the two
handguns are still missing.
