Authorities are searching for an unmarked Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department car that was stolen from an Alhambra auto dealership.

Alhambra police say surveillance video recorded a lone male walking into the service area of Alhambra Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at 1100 W. Main St. about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, approaching the black 2016 Dodge Charger, then driving it away.

Though the black four-door car has no exterior markings identifying it as a emergency vehicle, it is equipped with covert strobe lights and a Sheriff’s Department radio, chrome factory wheels and a California license plate that reads 7MRA998, police said. The vehicle had no weapons or other emergency equipment inside.

Alhambra police asked that anyone with information about the theft call a 24-hour tip line at (626) 308-4875.
