LEGO City 60042, High Speed Police Chase, depicts a police pursuit within the Police subtheme. Released in 2014, the set contains 110 pieces and 3 minifigures for an urban chase scene built around escape and law enforcement.
Set 60042 belongs to LEGO City and sits in the Police subtheme. Its subject is a high speed chase between police and criminals, a familiar City scenario with clear roles and an action focus that can be placed alongside streets, buildings, and other urban models.
The set contains 110 pieces and 3 minifigures. The lineup includes a female criminal with an open black jacket over a prison shirt and reddish brown hair, a criminal with an open black jacket over a prison shirt, dark bluish grey legs, black hat, dark tan skin tone and stubble, and a policeman with a blue shirt with badge and pouches, dark blue legs, dark blue police hat with badge and sunglasses. The contents support a pursuit scene rather than a fixed headquarters or building.
It is aimed at play within a LEGO City layout, especially short stories involving escape, pursuit, and arrest. For collectors of the Police subtheme, it works as a compact supporting set that can add extra characters and action to broader city or police displays.
