The Central and West Zealand Police have seized a fake photo van which was bothering motorists on Wednesday afternoon.
Two men have been charged on Wednesday with pretending to be something they are definitely not. At the same time, the Central and West Zealand Police have seized the men's fake photo van.
The photo van was used by the men to 'blitz' motorists from a blue van. In the cargo compartment of the car, the men had set up something that looks confusingly like police equipment for automatic traffic control.
The police circle writes that in the police report .
The equipment may emit a flash. The police also found a hand-held speedometer in the van. The two men had also set up a website where you could order the 'homemade photo van'.

At the same time, the Central and West Zealand Police have seized the fake photo van, while the case against the two men is being investigated further.
