Montgomery County police arrested three people after an off-duty police officer said he caught the group stealing a police radio and vest from his cruiser.
Authorities say the incident happened Monday afternoon around 2:30 p.m. in the area of Forest Glen.
Authorities said the three suspects, two men and a juvenile, fled in a maroon minivan that was reported stolen Sunday and were then involved in a hit-and-run accident. Police said the group abandoned the vehicle in Silver Spring, where the group was apprehended.
