An undercover police officer "chased himself round the streets" for 20 minutes last month after a CCTV operator mistook him for suspect, Daily Telegraph reported.

The junior officer was monitoring an area hit by a series of burglaries in a town south of the country.

As the probationary officer from Sussex Police searched for suspects, the camera operator radioed that he had seen someone "acting suspiciously" in the area. But he failed to realize that it was the plain-clothed officer he was watching on the screen.

The operator directed the officer, who was on foot patrol, as he followed the "suspect" on camera, telling his colleague on the ground that he was "hot on his heels".

The officer spent around 20 minutes giving chase before a sergeant came into the CCTV control room, recognized the "suspect" and laughed hysterically at the mistake.

英國便衣警察“追捕自己”

?????? 上個月，某閉路電視操作員將一位便衣警察當成犯罪嫌疑人，害得他在大街上“追了自己”20 分鐘。

???????據《每日電訊報》報道，英國南方某鎮發生了一系列搶劫案，蘇塞克斯警方的一位年輕警官便暗中監察。

???????就在這位見習警官尋找嫌疑人時，監控器操作員向他發出信息說在該地區發現了一個“形跡可疑”的人，但是并沒有意識到監控畫面里的人其實就是該便衣警察。

???????于是，操作員一邊盯著監控屏里的“嫌疑人”，一邊告訴這位步行的警官該怎么走，并一再表示他“就在嫌疑人身后”。

???????結果，那位便衣警察足足花了約20分鐘來追蹤所謂的“嫌疑人”。后來，另一位警官走進閉路電視控制室并認出了“嫌疑人”，不禁一陣狂笑。
