CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland authorities are on the hunt for a thief they say broke into an officer’s private car Monday and purloined a police-issued handgun and $1,100 in cash.

Detective William Speights told police that an unknown suspect broke into his Nissan Altima at about 12:30 p.m. while the car was parked in his driveway. The thief made off with a Glock 9mm Speights hid under the driver’s seat and a wad of cash he kept in the center console.

Authorities have no witnesses.

Police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris could not say if the weapon was loaded during the theft, but said a police supervisor will review Speights’ actions and determine whether he violated protocol by storing his police-issued weapon under the seat of his personal vehicle.

Officials would not reveal Speights’ address. A redacted police report lists the Justice Center in downtown as the detective’s residence.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call the Cleveland Division of Police at (216) 623-5000.
