Unusual police convoy

[MarcelM6]

Spotted southbound heading for the Dartford crossing, black cars, blue lights going. Nothing unusual there, but never seen the following in a convoy

ML63
RS6 estate
E63 estate
Passet R36 estate
Mercedes van

In that order. No Range Rover or Jaguar in sight.

Any clues as to what their purpose is?

Edited to add the Passat - had this nagging feeling I had left one out

I see this type of convoy reasonably regularily - it's the model of cars that I thought unusual. Never seen 1 of those with blue lights on, let alone 4 in one place.

Actually don't remember ever seeing a R36 estate in the flesh,

The reason you don't know what it's about, is because there is a reason they don't want you to know what it's about.

So, no point in asking as no one here will know what's it's about.

But if they don't want to people to ask questions perhaps they should be less conspicuous.

Also, I want to know anyway, especially now that they don't want me to know....

Was this between 10 and 10:30 on m25? I saw same if so when they were round by m11 junction. What was weirder was that there were 4 or 5 groups of 4 or 5 vehicles in each. Each group was 30 secs or so apart. All unmarked, dark vehicles with blues on. Mixture of cars and vans. One group I think May have been exclusively vans in fact.

Certainly caught my attention.

Yes, about that time - I only saw 1 group as was coming off at J30 at the time.

Donald Rumsfeld comes to mind
