A gun was stolen from an unmarked police vehicle parked outside an officer’s home in San Jose, police said.<\/p>\n
The department said someone broke into the car and stole the firearm.<\/p>\n
The department declined to identify the officer, but the assistant chief confirmed to NBC Bay Area that is was his vehicle and firearm. He said the gun was in a lockbox, which had been broken into.<\/p>\n
“If it’s a vehicle, it has to be out of sight, it has to be in a locked container that is permanently affixed to the vehicle with a substantial lock,” public safety consultant and retired San Jose police detective Michael Leininger said. “The fact that this was stolen, I question how substantial it was. If it was substantial, I don’t think they should have been able to remove it.”<\/p>\n
