The vehicle had a North Carolina license plate reading FMA-2836 with no weapons inside the car.

The unmarked police car was found around 1:40 p.m. Saturday.

Officials said anyone concerned for their safety during a traffic stop should continue driving the speed limit and proceed to the closest busy, well-lit area.

Three other non-police cars were also stolen.
