Saw an odd thing during the last week, an all-black Benz SUV with US-style interceptor nudge bar, antennae and light bar, it was moving at a fair clip between Ermington and Eastwood/Epping, via a rat run. No markings I could see, but we were going opposite ways.
Is this a NSW Police trial vehicle or just some security business shaking hands with themselves? |

Thats what id be thinking if it was a police vehicle. When the lady in the street behind me got shot dead, when i was driving home from work i got passed by a convoy of unmarked blacked out landcruisers with the red and blues in the grills and rear windows. They were the riot squad. Pretty sure they were called in due to a gunman being on the loose.

The tactical teams have a few German suvs. Quite a sight seeing a convoy racing through the cbd with some BMW X5’s and the blokes driving are wearing helmets Last edited by Giant Cranium; 24-10-2021 at 01:59 PM. |

I’ve seen the federal armoured X5s but not NSW units. This being a Benz and the atypical front bar caught my attention.

It may have been a GLE or GLS. The encounter was too quick for a look that allowed identification. Rear of cabin fairly “boxy”.

Definitely not a G-wagon, more like a Landcruiser.
