The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has found their vehicle that was reported stolen on Tuesday.
A representative for the department said that someone cut the lock to the gate of their lot and took a dark blue 2016 Ford Explorer, which looks like this:
The SUV was unmarked and used as a car for members of the sheriff's department's K-9 officers.
Officials said they received a call about an abandoned vehicle in a field in the 500 block of North 24th Street later Tuesday. The vehicle was retrieved just after 5 p.m.
They said it was last seen on Interstate 64 Tuesday morning, but officers were not able to stop it.
It is equipped with lights and sirens. It did not have any weapons in it, officials said.
There was no video surveillance at the lot to help identify the suspect who stole it.
No suspects have been found or identified, yet.
