Pic: Welsh police are now using tractors to fight crime

We're not sure how good these will be in a high-speed chase...

We’re not sure how good these will be in a high-speed chase…

Crime-fighters in the past have always had pretty cool vehicles, KiT, the Batmobile, Dukes of Hazard’s General Lee and they even use Lamborghini police cars in Dubai.

However, Dyfed-Powys Police in Wales aren’t as flash as the gang above and their latest crime stopper is a very sexy looking tractor with blue flashing lights…

Unfortunately, the police force won’t actually use the tractor to chase anyone but they’re hoping that the novelty vehicle will attract people to talk to them about their concerns about rural crime at agricultural events during the summer.

It’s a clever idea and it’s not the first time we’ve seen it either but this one certainly looks the part.
