At 11:50 a.m., the suspect broke into the car, parked at Franklin Street and Federal Square and took his loaded off-duty weapon, Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé said.

The suspect, a man with a thin build, also took a tan-colored holster and a black army pattern multi camo shoulder bag, Fragé said. He wore a black shirt and gray shorts and fled the scene on a bicycle heading eastbound on Franklin Street, then onto Mulberry Street, Fragé said.
