A man said he was immediately alarmed when he spotted two cars with matching number plates parked next to each other. John Gargett, from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, saw the two silver Mercedes-Benz C200 saloons on Hatherley Road, Eastwood.
According to the DVLA website, the number plate is registered to a silver Mercedes from 2006. It is taxed and its latest logbook was issued in January.
Mr Gargett told YorkshireLive : "Two cars parked across the street were on the same number plate front and rear. I reported this to 101. This was given a priority eight, and two PCSOs [police community support officers] attended."
