CHICOPEE — A Facebook post about a Chicopee Police Department cruiser spotted in Philadelphia has caused some confusion.

“We have been receiving calls all day about a stolen Chicopee police cruiser located in Philadelphia,” the department said on Facebook on Friday.

The shared post showed a message, asking if anyone in Chicopee was “missing” a police car. The cruiser was seen parked in a driveway in northeast Philadelphia.

The screenshot got 65 comments and about 314 shares in just a few hours.

Chicopee Police Officer Travis Odiorne explained that the car was sold at an auction almost three years ago. “The lettering was not removed prior to the vehicle being sold,” he said.

There might be three more such vehicles still in circulation, Odiorne told The Republican.
