The Town of Penhold is asking for the public’s assistance regarding the recent vandalism of their Community Peace Officer’s vehicle.

Town officials say it was at about 1 a.m. on November 21 when the vehicle was substantially damaged when four suspects, three males and one female, gained access inside a locked compound.

Once inside the compound, the suspects smashed the cruiser windows and stole numerous items from inside the locked vehicle, including a Stalker II handheld radar (model number AS009377), tuning forks (serial number FA199759 and FB303258), a black duty bag, a black side seat organizer and its contents.

The suspects also broke into the trunk of the cruiser and stole the emergency equipment that was inside.

“Penhold CPOs believe one of the suspects has committed different offences around central Alberta wearing a Penhold Peace Officer uniform jacket/vest,” reads a media release.

When last seen, the suspects were driving a dark 2013-2017 model Jeep Cherokee, with six headlights and a silver/chrome roof rack.
