12 Baltimore Police Patrol Cars Sidelined As Rape Probe Continues
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Twelve Baltimore police patrol cars remain out of service as the department investigates a reported rape that may have involved one of its officers.
A BPD spokesperson confirmed that of the initial 115 cars, all but 12 are back in service.
The department pulled the cars from service early this week. A woman told authorities early Sunday that she had been in a patrol car just before she was attacked.
Police declined to detail the allegation.
An internal police memo obtained by the Sun says the victim told authorities she was near a bar when she met a man who appeared to be a police officer and later raped her.
The sidelined vehicles have been narrowed down by a description provided by the victim, and investigators hope to search the remaining vehicles for evidence.
