The officer was staking out a burglary hotspot when the CCTV operator radioed him to say he had seen someone acting suspiciously nearby.
But the official did not realise he was watching the plain-clothed policeman.
He directed the bobby telling him he was "hot on the heels" of the "suspect".
An officer said: "Every time the man darted into an alleyway, the PC was turning into the same alleyway but there was no trace. The CCTV operator was unaware he was chasing himself."
The blunder, in a Sussex town ended when a sergeant recognised the policeman.
