Law Enforcement SUV Stolen In West Morgan Park, Police Say

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A law enforcement vehicle was stolen early Sunday in the West Morgan Park neighborhood, police said.

At 1:11 a.m., two thieves were headed north on the 10900 block of South Talman Avenue in a white sedan, checking door handles, police said.

One offender checked a parked sport-utility vehicle, and then got in and drove off south on Talman Avenue with the white sedan tailing, police said.

The SUV belongs to a law enforcement agency, but is not a Chicago Police vehicle, police sources said. Sources said the vehicle might belong to someone with the Cook County Sheriff's Department.

Police were putting out a citywide bulletin about the stolen vehicle late Sunday afternoon.

In the all-call, police said the vehicle had a duty weapon inside and was also equipped with emergency lights.

The SUV was last seen at 6:05 a.m. at 65th Street and Bell Avenue in West Englewood, police said.
