Some weapons, a police badge and laptop comptuers were stolen Monday morning from a rental car that belonged to an out-of-town SWAT team in town for training.
San Antonio police spokesman Gabe Treviņo said that an officer with the Virginia Beach, Va., SWAT team had just placed the items in the car and had gone to his hotel room to get some more items when someone broke a rear window of the vehicle and took the items.
Treviņo said the incident happened in a matter of seconds.
"Notoriously, these car burglars work very quickly," Treviņo said. "They can go up to a car, break a window, get in, take items and be gone in a matter of 20-30 seconds, at the longest."
No arrests have been made but San Antonio police are actively looking for the weapons, Treviņo said.
The officer was getting ready to leave the hotel for a training session with the San Antonio Police Department SWAT team when the burglary occurred at 7 a.m. in the parking lot of the Residence Inn at Loop 410 and Broadway.
