Hide AdA spokesperson for the SYP Operation Support Unit said: “Criminals aren’t always the brightest bunch. The four in this yellow Skoda Fabia thought that the best way to stay under the radar was to drive around in motoring equivalent of a high-vis coat.
“While a little attention might be nice for some, it’s probably not that sought after if the car you are in was stolen in a burglary not very far away.
“Even when you put false plates on your ill-gotten gains, we’re fairly sure Skoda didn’t sell huge numbers of rubber duck yellow Fabias so you are going to stand out. Especially to police officers who love a bit of luminous yellow.”
