Burglars mistake unmarked patrol car for their getaway car. OOPS!
Police say their method of operation is to get dropped off between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., pick out a few houses to hit and then have a rendezvous pickup point for a getaway driver.

Sergeant Robert Maxfield was canvassing the neighborhood Wednesday night after responding to a burglary at 2354 Cheshire Lane in the Pelican Marsh development.

As Maxfield searched an area on Nottingham Drive, near Airport Pulling Road North, around 8:45, he noticed two people dressed in dark clothing come out of the bushes.

"They thought this was the getaway vehicle and I was in the right place at the right time," Maxfield said.
