Lexington police have a suspect in custody after he's accused of stealing a police vehicle.

One of the city's paddy wagons was stolen. It happened at the Hope Center around 10 p.m. An officer brought the paddy wagon there to pick up a prisoner. Police tell us the officer left the keys in the vehicle but locked it, not knowing there's a security feature that unlocks it if the keys are inside. That's when, police say, a suspect jumped in and took off. Officers quickly stopped the suspect at Sixth St. and Broadway.
He faces theft by unlawful taking and operating a vehicle with no license.
