Police are searching for a stolen vehicle that was being used as a prop in a Batman-related film production in downtown Hamilton.

Investigators say the theft happened in the area of Main Street West near Dundurn Street on Tuesday evening when a black 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood with fake Gotham City plates was dropped off but went missing a short time later.

“The vehicle was meant to be used as a rental prop for a film shoot that was taking place in Hamilton,” Const. Indy Bharaj told Global News.
