D.C. Police have recovered a campus police vehicle stolen from the University of the District of Columbia’s Van Ness campus early Friday morning.

Police said surveillance cameras around the school showed an unidentified suspect successfully stealing the vehicle at around 3:45 a.m. The grey 2023 Ford Explorer is clearly marked with a university police badge along both front doors, tinted windows and ghost lettering.
