An off-duty detective with the Suffolk County Police Department sensed something fishy when the ‘police officer’ that pulled him over went back to his SUV and drove off.

According to police, Victor Alfaro-Marquez, 35, of Selden,was driving an unmarked, Mercedes-Benz SUV with flashing lights and sirens when he stopped Detective William Zambito at 4:30 a.m. on Monday.

The Mercedes-Benz he was driving was impounded.
