TV News Car Vandalized While City Touts Robbery Prevention

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

But you can excuse the staff at ABC7, an affiliate in Washington, D.C. They had a crew covering a press conference. The mayor was there, so was the police chief. They were talking about a new effort in the city to prevent robberies, and that is when about a hundred feet away, ABC7's car was robbed. According to the station, someone broke a window and stole some of their equipment. And you're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
