Finally, police realised the car they were looking for. But Chief Charles Moose refused to reveal the number plate. It was only when one of his team leaked it that the pair were found one-and-a-half hours later.

I wonder how long they had the plate number before the leak, and the reason for witholding it.

Maybe they didn't want them to find out that
the police knew what they were driving,
cause them to murder a driver and steal
a different car to allow them to getaway.
