A group of Roma (gypsies) who
made a video of themselves apparently sitting at the wheel of a
police car they had stolen used a movie-set squad car vehicle to
poke fun at the forces of law and order, police said Thursday.
The video showing the Roma mimicking police rushing out of
the car attracted a wide readership on social networks but a
probe by police headquarters in Rome found that a car belonging
to a movie prop agency had been used for the prank.
The company has been identified and police are starting
legal proceedings to protect the image of the police and obtain
damages, a police statement said.
