Investigators are searching for a thief who made off with more than $1,000 of BART police property, including a uniform and some riot gear, from an East Bay station earlier this week, officials said.

Sometime between 2 p.m. Monday and 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the items were taken from a storage room at the Concord Station, police said in a statement. Among the items stolen were a pair of boots, a riot helmet, a gas mask, uniform pants and a police jacket complete with all the patches.
