Perth officers pull over fake police car

A woman driving a car with "police" written across the side has been snapped being pulled over by Western Australia officers.

The unusual scene was captured by Anna-Marie Gibbs during her lunch break on today, at The Esplanade outside Elizabeth Quay.

"I thought it was hilarious," she said.

The 33-year-old driver was not fined for the unique paint job, but will face court for traffic offences including driving an unlicensed vehicle.

Other social media users who saw the car over the weekend and today joked they could not spot a difference between the vehicles.

Shail Vekaria wrote on Facebook: "New undercover cop car."

A police spokesman said there would have been an issue if the police crest was used.

The decorated car has been impounded for 28 days.
