LEGO City 60242 Police Highway Arrest is a 2020 set depicting a police stop on a highway. With 185 pieces, it belongs to the City Police subtheme and features Duke DeTain together with Vito, Dark Red Jacket.
This set sits within LEGO City, specifically the Police branch, and presents a highway pursuit and arrest scene. Its subject is a contemporary urban action scenario, consistent with the City range rather than an external license.
The build is centered on a compact police encounter, pairing an officer with a suspect in a road setting.
Police Highway Arrest works as a self-contained play set, a small display scene, or an addition to a broader LEGO City layout. It is especially relevant to collectors or builders focusing on City Police subjects. Within that theme, it can be placed as a modest road action set that complements larger police locations or other traffic based scenes.
