Leicestershire and Rutland police received three reports of the car flashing blue lights to get drivers to stop in Glen Parva, Wigston and Wardley on January 1.

A police spokesman said: "If you are unsure if you are being pulled over by a genuine officer, keep your car doors locked and if possible drive to a place in safety or a well-lit area such as a petrol station forecourt."
