SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse police officer’s department-issued gun was stolen from her personal car on the North Side earlier this weekend, police confirmed to Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.

Officer Nikki Hendrix’s department-issued gun was stolen from the car in the 100 block of Burdick Avenue, Syracuse police said. A string of car break-ins were reported on that street, police said.

Hendrix told police she remembers locking her car, said Sgt. Matthew Malinowski, a police department spokesman.

The break-ins were reported at 10:10 a.m. on Saturday, though it is unclear exactly when the gun was stolen, police said.

Hendrix, an 8-year police department veteran, was honored earlier in 2019 for stopping a woman from jumping from the fifth floor of a parking garage using crisis intervention training on Nov. 30. Hendrix graduated from the Syracuse Police Academy in 2011.

Police ask anyone with information about the break-ins to contact the Syracuse Police Department at (315) 442-5222. Anonymous tips can also be submitted using the “SPD Tips” app.
