“Unfortunately, the information about this vehicle has come through to us third hand due to reports and sightings of it being shared on local community Facebook groups rather than to TVP directly.
"This causes us delays in responding to the reports.
“If you see the vehicle (or any vehicles) in suspicious circumstances and you believe that a crime is in action or about to be committed, please call us using 999.
