LIBERTYVILLE, IL — The Libertyville Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a woman accused of stealing a Fisher Price Power Wheels Dune Racer from outside a school earlier this month. The kids' vehicle, which belongs to two 4-year-old residents, was parked outside Butterfield School at about 3:40 p.m. on May 15 when a 2018 or 1029 blue Volkswagen Jetta pulled up, and the driver got out to retrieve it. In a surveillance video shared on the police department's Facebook page, the woman can be seen lifting the Power Wheels vehicle and putting it into her trunk. She then drives away. The 4-year-old residents were at a playground at the school with their babysitter when the dune racer was taken. The dune racer is valued at about $250. The Libertyville Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying the woman "so we can return the Dune Racer to our little residents."
