We copped a look at an unusual sight on the A18 in Brigg this afternoon.
Two apparently conked out police cars were being taken through town on a tow truck.
The one at the back was Y-reg and the other appeared to be a similarly senior member of the fleet.
We have no evidence to link the two vehicles seen on Barnard Avenue to Brigg police.
Nor did we get the makes of car, but can confirm they were not Two Jags.
