MORNINGSIDE, Md. -- Members of the FBI have joined officials in
Prince George's County to help find who is responsible for the
disappearance of an unmarked Prince George's County Fire Department
vehicle from the Morningside Volunteer Fire Department, in
Morningside, Md.
Authorities are concerned, because the stolen Ford Crown Victoria
resembles an undercover police car and contains a lot of equipment.
The vehicle was stolen overnight Saturday. It contained a two-way
radio, which is tied into the Prince George's County Fire
Department's main communication system, a firefighter's uniform and
helmet.
A fire department spokesman said the car is equipped with everything
to allow someone to impersonate a real firefighter or a police
officer and that has officials worried.
"In the region lately there have been a few cases of people
impersonating officials," said fire department spokesman Chauncey
Bowers. "We want to remind people that anybody official is going to
have credentials or identification with them."
Officials said in the past, two personal vehicles were stolen from
the Morningside VFD, but this is the first time an official vehicle
has been taken.
Bowers said police will tell you if you're stopped by an unmarked
car, you have the right to drive at a slow rate of speed to a well
lit area, and even request a marked vehicle to come to your location.
The stolen car has Maryland municipal tags LG50822. Anyone who spots
the stolen vehicle is asked to contact police immediately.
