“2 Police Impersonators Nabbed” #sgpolicearrest Read on to find out more on how to verify if a person is a genuine police officer. Police have arrested 2 youths aged 15 and 16 years old for cheating by personation where they identified themselves as Police Officers and demanded for the victims to surrender handphones and Ezlink cards to them. On 1 April 2014, Police received a report from two students that they were approached by 2 suspects who identified themselves as Police Officers at St Georges Road and were checked by them. The suspects requested the victims to surrender their mobile phones and EZlink Cards and told to wait while they returned to their vehicle. The suspects did not returned thereafter. Following the report, officers conducted extensive ground enquiries and follow-up investigations. The suspects were successfully arrested on 8 April 2014. Police would like to remind the public to be vigilant and wary of persons who may impersonate as Police Officers to facilitate the commission of their criminal acts. If in doubt, they should request for the Police Officer’s Warrant Card to verify his identity before complying with the instructions of the officer. A genuine warrant card will have identification features such as the Police crest, the photo of the officer, his name and NRIC number. If they are still unsure of the person’s credibility as a Police Officer, they should call 999 for assistance.
