Investigators from three agencies were working to unravel who stole an Orange County sheriff’s deputy’s patrol vehicle and used it to chase several cars Wednesday night before one of the vehicles being pursued – a stolen Cadillac – rammed a garage in a Cocoa neighborhood.

Authorities were mum on the circumstances leading up to the deputy’s vehicle being stolen from a Rockledge home or the deputy’s identity but said the stolen patrol vehicle apparently attempted to pull over other vehicles before the Cadillac plowed into the Cocoa residence.

No arrests have been made in the case and it was not immediately clear if any suspects had been identified.

“It’s very bizarre,” said Yvonne Martinez, spokeswoman for the Cocoa Police Department, the agency that responded to call initially.

At 1:41 a.m., Cocoa police were told about a hit-and-run crash in the 1100 block of Greenwood Way. A caller to 9-1-1 alerted dispatchers with information that it appeared that a police vehicle was involved with chasing the black Cadillac.

“A police was chasing someone…the car is a black Cadillac…it just went through a house,” the caller told a dispatcher. The Orange County patrol vehicle, a marked white SUV, had its lights activated and appeared to be pursuing the Cadillac at the time of the crash, witnesses told the police.

Officers arrived within moments and the black Cadillac – reported stolen out of West Palm Beach – sitting in a wrecked garage. Several parked vehicles were also hit in the area of Japonica Lane, Martinez said. The Brevard County sheriff’s helicopter was alerted along with surrounding agencies. A search then got underway for the patrol vehicle and suspects who ran off from the wrecked Cadillac.

As officers investigated the crash scene at the home, another Cocoa police officer spotted the Orange County patrol vehicle with its lights on attempting to pull over a black Nissan on Fiske Boulevard, Martinez said.

“Apparently, the occupant or occupants of this stolen patrol vehicle were going around pulling people over and getting into pursuits. We don’t know when the patrol car was stolen. But as a result of this crash on Greenwood Way, it caused this whole thing to unravel,” Martinez said.

The patrol vehicle was later found about 3:30 a.m. abandoned behind the Save-A-Lot shopping plaza on Dixon Boulevard in Cocoa.

Police were not sure if the suspect or suspect in the stolen Cadillac knew the person in the stolen patrol vehicle. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the patrol vehicle had been stolen in Rockledge.

Rockledge police talked to the deputy and turned the patrol vehicle over to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for further processing. It was not immediately known if Orange County was conducting an administrative review of the incident. The suspect could face charges of impersonating a police officer.

There were no injuries reported during the crime spree, Martinez said.

Rockledge Deputy Chief Donna Seyferth said an investigation was ongoing into how the vehicle was stolen.

“We’re working this case like any other stolen vehicle case,” Seyferth said.

Anyone who encountered the stolen patrol vehicle or has additional information should call the Central Florida Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
