A police officer’s pickup truck, loaded with the officer’s personal weapons, was stolen Sunday night from the parking lot of a Peoria bar.

Peoria police said the El Mirage officer was at McDuffy’s near the Peoria Sports Complex for about 45 minutes. When he came outside around 7:30 p.m., his truck was missing.

Inside the truck, police said, were two .40-caliber Glock pistols with 100 rounds of ammunition, an AR-15 assault rifle with five fully loaded magazines, a ballistic vest, police uniforms and IDs, flat badges and wallet badges.

Police said those are not the sort of weapons they want on the street.

“You anticipate most of the bad guys you come in contact with are going to have some form of weapon, but now we’re giving them an assault rifle, which is a long distance weapon, and several pieces of ammunition to go along with it. Not to mention a ballistic vest, and it kind of gives them an advantage when we have to deal with them,” said Peoria police Sgt. Jon Meck.

The vehicle is described as a white 2003 Ford F-350 with a slight lift and a chrome toolbox in the bed, with Arizona license plate CC-21638.
