Police have launched an investigation after a fake police car fitted with blue flashing lights tried to pull over a driver in Staffordshire.
A motorist alerted officers after what appeared to be an unmarked police car was tailgating in Stafford.
Officers have now confirmed the car was not from its fleet and are now trying to catch the bogus vehicle.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: “We received reports of a suspicious car from a driver in the area of Weston Road and Hopton Lane, Stafford, at around 7pm on February 14. We are investigating the incident.”
A relative of the driver took to social media to warn other motorists about the incident.
The latest sighting of a fake police car comes after an investigation last year revealed a ‘suspicious’ unmarked police car spotted driving around Stoke-on-Trent was a genuine force vehicle.
