Unmarked Sheriff's Vehicle Equipped With Emergency Strobe Lights Stolen From Dealership

An unmarked L.A. County Sheriff's vehicle was stolen from an Alhambra car dealership on Sunday, reports the L.A. Times.
Surveillance camera caught footage of a lone male walking into the service area of Alhambra Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at 1100 W. Main St., and driving away in a black 2016 Dodge Charger. The incident happened at about 5:30 a.m.
As the Alhambra Police Department noted in a Facebook posting, the vehicle has no exterior markings. Inside, it's equipped with emergency lights that include "covert red, blue and white strobe lights," as well as a Sheriff's Department radio. There were no weapons or other emergency equipment inside the car.
The Charger has four doors, chrome factory wheels, and a California license plate reading 7MRA998.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Det. J. Ng of the Alhambra Police Department at 626-570-5187.
