Missing Sheriff’s Vehicle Now Listed as Stolen
An unmarked Orange County sheriff’s vehicle that disappeared from a jail parking lot more than a week ago is presumed stolen, officials said Thursday.
Lt. Hans Strand said the white, four-door 2001 Ford Crown Victoria was last seen Nov. 23 in an unsecured area of the Theo Lacy Jail parking lot on The City Drive South. Its government license plate is E1096061, and it has 1378 decaled in 2-inch gold numbers on its rear left and right front windows.
The car wasn’t listed as stolen earlier, Strand said, because investigators “were hoping it would be found at the maintenance yard or other facilities.”
