A police officer was the victim of a thief who stole a backpack that he had in his patrol unit with documents and $400 in cash.
The theft occurred while the officer was investigating a traffic accident at dawn yesterday, on Borinquen Avenue, in Barrio Obrero (San Juan).
When he returned to his assigned Dodge Charger cruiser, he realized that someone had taken his backpack, along with his driver’s license, his badge, documents and $400. The thief also took the officer’s baton.
The police dept. is investigating possible leads.
