West Chester police seek to identify man, woman after badge stolen

Police in West Chester are asking for the public's help to identify a woman and man seen on surveillance footage in connection to a police badge that went missing.

West Chester police have identified the individuals sought in the week-long search for a missing police badge.

Police say an officer lost his badge during a struggle with an armed person in front of Kildare's Irish Pub on West Gay Street in West Chester last weekend.

It fell off his uniform, and landed on a nearby sidewalk. It has yet to be located.

Last week, police asked for the public's help to find the badge with this warning: "Should the badge be found in anyone's possession at a later date, criminal charges may be warranted."

On Monday, they released photos of a man and woman they would "like to identify and speak with" in connection to the "missing/stolen" badge.

As of Monday afternoon, police say the two people sought have since been identified.
