Police investigating the Securitas heist found a burnt-out Vauxhall that was "disguised as an unmarked police vehicle". Erm, huh? I thought the point of an unmarked police vehicle was that you couldn't tell it was one so how can you make another car look like one?

blue flashing lights behind the radiator grille?

Big plastic glasses, a long nose and an unconvincing fake moustache, obviously :-).

Yeah, or bottle green or poo brown paint job which no other cars ever have. ;oP

Maybe they had something inside the car to make it appear so should the car be stopped and searched? That would be my guess.

They often have lights on top which are made to look like a small roof-rack

and/or an antenna hidden underneath a rear spoiler

So pretty much like any other police vehicle but with the yellow/blue stripes and the actual word POLICE printed on it?

Basically? Yes.

They got hold of a temporary blue light that the unmarked cars use to pull someone over in order to get the manager chappy to stop.
