Police say that Christopher Kish, a former LAPD cadet, is fascinated with law enforcement-- so much so that he steals police cars and other equipment.
Police last month arrested a 38-year-old man who is accused of trying to break into eight Los Angeles Unified School District police cars.
He carried a flashlight, gloves, a gun and a two-way radio as he tried breaking into eight patrol cars at the police subdivision near Wilson High School. The officer requested help. Minutes later, Christopher Kish was in handcuffs.Police said the April 16 arrest yielded not only one of the most active auto thieves in the area but someone with an alarming obsession with stealing law enforcement vehicles and the gear inside them. Kish, authorities said, was an LAPD cadet in the early 1990s.
It wasn’t the first time officers arrested Kish for stealing police cars. He was convicted in 2013 on similar charges, At the crime stat meeting, Assistant Chief Robert Arcos wanted to know if detectives had searched Kish’s house for police equipment. They had not, Stabile said, because Kish provided a false address and officers could not link him to an old address listed in case files.
