An Atlanta city councilman and mayoral candidate had his car stolen Wednesday, a year after he pushed to defund the police department.
Councilman Antonio Brown's 2016 Mercedes 450 was stolen while he was speaking to a local business owner, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Brown had parked his vehicle and got out to speak to someone in the parking lot when "Several males entered his unlocked car and drove away with it," according to a police report cited by the Journal-Constitution.
Brown told the outlet that the car thieves appeared to be kids and one "Acted as though he had a gun."
Yes: 98%. No: 2%. "At this time, officers are gathering information on exactly how this happened and working to identify anyone involved in the incident and locate the stolen vehicle," police said.
Brown is running for mayor on a "Reimagining" public safety and police safety platform.
Last August, Brown had proposed withholding $73 million of the police budget, The Intercept reported.
