LEGO City 60043 Prisoner Transporter depicts a police vehicle for moving detainees within the Police branch of the City theme. Released in 2014, the set contains 197 pieces and includes 3 minifigures for a compact police scenario.
Set 60043 belongs to LEGO City Police, a theme area built around patrols, arrests and urban law enforcement scenes. Its subject is a prisoner transport vehicle, making it a natural companion to police stations, road layouts and stories involving custody or attempted escape.
The set has 197 pieces and 3 minifigures. The build is centred on the vehicle and on the clear roles of its characters.
It suits play, display and collecting within a City Police layout. Compared with building based police sets, it adds a specialised service vehicle that can move between locations and link an arrest scene with a custody scene in the same city setting.
