A Kouts, IN police car was stolen about an hour ago, the suspect was hand cuffed, and the officers 9mm and assault weapon are in the cruiser, he is in contact with authorities on the Porter county sheriffs frequency.
Wife works in Valpo. She just text me she has been told to lock the hotel doors by the police until its over.
Anyone know where this guy is right now? I have LC and PC police in the scanner in my car but I live in the basement and get no reception here.
Do you have a list of the Lake County callsigns? I didn't know Eagle was the helo but it makes sense.

I heard thru ISP Dist 16 Peru Post that it was put out as a Officer Safety. Police car has a fully loaded 9 MM handgun and a loaded assault rifle.
Yeah, I got that in the op's original post...But as I said previously,those weapons should not be accessible if procedures were followed.
Without giving tactics away, it takes more than just the ignition key. :wink:

Not always, it could be an electric lock button on a console mainly because the perp is expected to be secured in the back and not behind the wheel!
Was the wrecker for the vehicle with front end damage for the squad? Hmmm.
Just a guess, but it sounds like custody policies were not followed for this to happen.
Access to weapons should not have been possible by the suspect, cuffed or otherwise.
