Investigators said the officer's car and others were broken into. The rifles were in the trunk of the officer's cruiser. One of them was a military-style semiautomatic M-16, one of several hundred IPD got from the military about two years ago. The other stolen weapon was a small-caliber rifle.

Police said the officer was attending a church function when the theft occurred and that the weapons had been properly stored in the vehicle.

Indianapolis police said they want the stolen weapons returned.
