NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio -- A Cleveland police sergeant had his gun and badge stolen from from his personal vehicle Thursday for the second time in two years.

Sgt. Jeffrey Weaver left the items on the front seat of his Chevrolet Equinox while it was parked in the driveway of his North Ridgeville home Thursday morning, according to police records.

Weaver went out to the SUV about 11 a.m. and noticed his loaded department-issued Glock 17, kevlar vest, police badge, wallet, city ID and money were gone, the records say.

The incident is being investigated by North Ridgeville police and Cleveland's Bureau of Integrity Control, which probes potential violations of department policy, spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

Cleveland.com asked both Cleveland and North Ridgeville police about the incident Thursday afternoon, but officials in both cities said they had no report of the theft.

A copy of a North Ridgeville police report, dated Monday, says Weaver called police at 12:45 p.m. Thursday.

Weaver was suspended in 2014 after his department-issued AR-15 rifle, badge and ammunition were taken from the trunk of his car outside the Holiday Inn on West 150th Street.

Department policy bars officers from storing department-issued guns in their cars, but Weaver is not the only officer to violate that policy this year.

An off-duty Cleveland officer's gun stolen from his car in February outside an Akron night club. The gun has not been recovered, Ciaccia said Friday.

And last year, police say a teenager stole a duffel bag filled with police gear, including ammunition, a riot helmet, ticket books, ballistic vest and other items from then-Commander James Chura.
