Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate WJLA says one of its news cars was broken into while the crew was at a press conference where DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and police chief Cathy Lanier were talking about a Task Force designed to fight robberies.
According to ABC7 News reporter Stephen Tschida, thieves tore through the news vehicle Wednesday morning and a culprit smashed a window out of the car and stole a cache of equipment.
Tschida said the crime happened within view of where the mayor and chief were speaking, approximately 100 feet away.
