Boise police radar gun taken from patrol motorcycle near BSU

Statesman staff - Idaho Statesman
Edition Date: 09/17/08

Boise police are hoping for the return of a $3,000 traffic radar gun that was apparently taken from a patrol motorcycle over the weekend.

The radar gun was taken from an older patrol motorcycle that an officer was using temporarily in the area around Boise State University after Saturday's football game. Newer police motorcycles have a locking holster where radar guns are kept. This older motorcycle did not have the locking holster.

The officer noticed the radar gun missing from the motorcycle about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. It was on the bike at 6 p.m. During that time, the officer made several stops and contacts, and was away from the motorcycle briefly in several different locations in the neighborhood just south of BSU.

The radar gun is a laser device and is useless without corresponding equipment. The radar has the brand name "Ultra Lyte LR B" imprinted on the side, and a small tag that says "Property of Boise Police Dept."

Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS. Information leading to an arrest and conviction may be worth a reward of up to $1,000.

That is pretty funny. Now all the culprit needs is a white crown vic and there in business.
