ABC Officer's Service Weapon, Badge Swiped From Car

The items were taken from a vehicle parked behind the 24 Hour Fitness Center at the Westfield UTC Mall

A burglar swiped two handguns, a badge and a police radio from an Alcoholic Beverage Control officer's vehicle parked at Westfield UTC mall Wednesday evening.

The officer was on his way home when he stopped and parked behind the 24 Hour Fitness Center at 4425 La Jolla Village Drive.

When he returned to his car, he discovered a black duffel bag was missing from it. The bag held a state-issued handgun and a personal gun, as well as the badge and radio.

The SDPD has asked all neighboring agencies to lookout for the black bag. Officers are trying to calculate the total loss.
