Default Unmarked Police Silver Scooby on A19

I have not seen this myself, but a couple of workmates have spotted it around the Hartlepool - Crathorne area.

Anyone else seen this?

Wilko,

You are correct

Cleveland Police now operate at least one Silver MY05 WRX

Normally seen in conjunction with the camara vans in or around Middlesbrough

I have seen it both with and without it's blue flashing lights

Keep your eyes peeled and don't be tempted to race it

Well since its 'only' a WRX I'm pretty sure the cops will get plenty of VAG diesel scalps !

North Yorks also have one, seen it on A19 nr. Easingwold. It is also silver and unmarked though I do know they have some marked ones too.

And Humberside have marked/unmarked Scoobys.

Now this is a worrying development!

Repeat after me: "Don't race the silver WRX"

Its best not to race any silver cars round boro as the police have alsorts of different stuff. Ive seen an impreza, honda civic, skodas, mercs and a 406 and they are all silver. I wouldn't be surprised if they have other cars too

Thumbs up ANPR

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Two data bases 1. live link to the PNC 2. local input via floppy disk

Best known for its use in the City of London as part of the Counter Terrorism effort. It is NOT radar and will not detect your speed. This may change in years ahead
