Lincoln Police are investigating the theft of thousands of dollars worth of equipment from a vehicle near 31st and Old Cheney Friday morning that belongs to one of their own.
Sergeant Chris Vollmer says an LPD recruit officer reported his police issued equipment was stolen from the trunk of his unlocked sedan sometime overnight last Thursday.
“Items taken included police radio, ballistic vest, flashlight, baton, backpack, ballistic rifle plates and plate carrier,” Vollmer says. The total value of the items is $6,150.
