Red faced police chiefs have been forced to put out a stolen vehicle alert – after one of their cars was taken from the driveway of an officer’s house.

A Metropolitan Police officer parked the unmarked blue Skoda Superb estate outside his home in Brentwood, Essex, on Thursday, but that night a thief broke in to the house and snatched the car keys.

The £25,000 vehicle is fitted with discreet blue lights and two-tone horns. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ‘We want to make motorists aware this car is not being driven by a police officer so they should not pull over if requested to do so by the driver.

Reading them yeah, but he'll still need to keep them to wrap his sherry bottle for those days on the park bench

Years ago ( when I was a pom )

I lived in Essex and the police chief was giving a lecture on keeping your car save from theft and you guessed it some comedian pinched his car that was parked outside the venue.
