Fake Cop Searching Purses To Steal Cash On The Loose In Tyrone, Georgia

Police On The Hunt For Impostor Pretending To Be A Cop So He Could Search Purses And Steal Cash

Tyrone Police Department is searching for a man pretending to be one of their own. The brazen criminal is reportedly impersonated a law enforcement officer to gain access to rob people.

Authorities say the man walked into the Han Massage parlor located on North Highway 74 on June 29, identified himself as a law enforcement officer and pretended to inspect the business.

The imposter then requested identification from each of the employees to sell the act. However, he managed to pocket $460 from one of the employee’s wallets while checking their IDs, per WSB-TV.

According to authorities, he escaped in a white Dodge pickup truck after snatching money from an employee’s wallet.

People have been warned to call 911 and not to approach the man if seen in public. Also, if you recognize the man pictured, give detectives a call at 770-881-8254, or email [email protected].

Folks online have since been reacting to the news. “Do you know the charges that come with impersonating law enforcement? Yup he deserves life,” someone commented.

“So…people letting someone in their house with a black vest on that doesn’t say no kind of police department, county, or even parish…?” another person wondered.

“As a grown man if you’re out here stealing you should just exit off of earth because it’s obvious you have nothing going for you life,” someone else added.
