FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Three people, including the daughter of a Fort Worth, Texas, police officer, could face charges after they took the officer's patrol car for a joy ride.

Police spokesman Lt. Dean Sullivan said the 21-year-old girl and two other young people took the keys from the sleeping officer's gun belt and drove the car around the neighborhood, turning the lights and sirens on and off and at one point pulling over a motorist, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday.

"One witness saw the kids in the police car pull over a small, white vehicle with the lights and sirens on, then back up, make a U-turn and go the opposite direction," Sullivan told the newspaper.

"We haven't been able to clearly establish who was actually operating the police car at the time."

Sullivan said the investigation was ongoing.
