Have spotted the white 5 series BMW's in the pics above a few times now!

Their is a black Honday CR-v kicking about which is about the last car you would expect to be an undercover car.

Other week i saw a blue 08 Octavia fly through a red light (without blue's and two's on) to get up the bumper of a Clio coming out of that cruise night at Teeside park. Just to wait for him to pull onto the A66 and pull him over.

A copper in a bright yellow coat waving a hairdryer around on the Eastbound A184 between Whitemare Pool and Testos - not really undercover but worth knowing about anyway.

Kind of an odd one. Saturday, Darlington, two coppers on im guessing two red and white Honda trail bikes.

Fully kitted out with off road helmets and not much to tell you that there coppers apart from the police badge on the front mud gaurd and the black jackets with POLICE written on the back. One to watch out for as i bet they'l catch you through urban areas.

Looked really cool like, i wouldnt mind a job like that smile

Cleveland police are running at least one unmarked S-max in white with tinted windows, badged as a zetec but with twin exhausts from the 2.5t engined model.

There is one of the 5 series with 2 lines and a circle on the top and probably letters on the back. Does this indicate a proper police car so it can be seen from the chopper or something? any one know what they mean, i've spent ages trying to work them out (and standing on the footbridge over the A167 at nevills cross lol)

I live next to a field and the local off-road Police are often to be seen/ heard thundering across it after some scrote or scooter boy... there's a path across the field that the scooters use as a short-cut to the next estate, of course it's illegal for them to use it and I've seen a couple having their collar felt hehe
Stupid gits, it's not like riding the proper way round is going to take much longer.

All those unmarked cars (5 series and 407's), and a few plain white unmarked new shape Focii and we also saw a plain white unmarked Nissan Teranno I think it was. This however didn't have the blue lights on the front which are sported by all the others. All the above cars can often be seen training the drivers on the weekends on the A68 and other roads local around Bellingham/Otterburn as they often pull into the car park outside my house to go to the local cafe. Will try to get some better pics when they're here next time.

The unmarked Focii pulled out and started to overtake a line of traffic earlier as I was heading towards them. Eventually they realised I was travelling a damn site faster than they expected and they didn't have room to complete their overtake, so forced them to pull back in. biggrin Me: 1, Cops: 0 today (although about +20 on aggregate).

One of these in this colour too. Didn't catch the plate so not sure what year but was wearing a nice hi-vis.
