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.

英国便衣警察“追捕自己”

       上个月，某闭路电视操作员将一位便衣警察当成犯罪嫌疑人，害得他在大街上“追了自己”20 分钟。

       据《每日电讯报》报道，英国南方某镇发生了一系列抢劫案，苏塞克斯警方的一位年轻警官便暗中监察。

       就在这位见习警官寻找嫌疑人时，监控器操作员向他发出信息说在该地区发现了一个“形迹可疑”的人，但是并没有意识到监控画面里的人其实就是该便衣警察。

       于是，操作员一边盯着监控屏里的“嫌疑人”，一边告诉这位步行的警官该怎么走，并一再表示他“就在嫌疑人身后”。

       结果，那位便衣警察足足花了约20分钟来追踪所谓的“嫌疑人”。后来，另一位警官走进闭路电视控制室并认出了“嫌疑人”，不禁一阵狂笑。
