Mountain View police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a patrol car stolen Friday night.
The car was stolen around 11:15 p.m. at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, located at 1 Amphitheatre Parkway.
An officer who was on duty during a concert left his keys inside when he went to respond to a call, police said.
An Amphitheatre staff member reported seeing the car traveling up and down Shoreline Boulevard and said one suspect, possibly a teenager or young adult, appeared to be inside the car, according to police.
The black and white patrol car is marked with the number 3006 in gold lettering in various places. The MVPD star logo is featured on both sides of the car and “Mountain View Police” is written in gold across the back. Police say the car was equipped with a fluorescent orange and black
shotgun that shoots beanbags.
Anyone with information about the stolen patrol car is encouraged to call the Police Department at (650) 903-6344.
