Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee\u2019s city-issued vehicle was stolen from City Hall on Tuesday but the mayor\u2019s office and police officials aren\u2019t releasing many details.<\/p>\n

When asked about the theft of the mayor\u2019s SUV, Oakland police said the car was recovered within hours and they are following up on potential leads. No other details were provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one in Oakland should have to worry about their car being stolen, whether they\u2019re a resident, a city worker, or the Mayor,\u201d Lee said in an email Wednesday. \u201cPublic safety is a priority across our entire city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with criminal cases such as this, the Oakland Police Department is actively investigating, and we cannot comment further at this time,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
