QLD:Police warn of fake cop car
BRISBANE, Feb 16 AAP - A man has been impersonating a police officer and using flashing
lights to stop motorists in Brisbane.
Queensland Police Service say the man used flashing red and blue lights to pull over
motorists in four incidents on Monday night and Tuesday morning in the Brisbane suburbs
of Thornlands, Woolloongabba and Aspley.
On two occasions, he approached the vehicle's driver and asked for documentation such
as a driver's licence, police said in a statement.
Police are looking for a man described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his
early 20s, unshaven and with short sandy blond hair.
He was driving an older style white Holden Commodore with tinted windows.
No-one was injured during any of the incidents and there was no attempt to assault
anyone, but police say they are concerned personal information may have been obtained.
Police are urging anyone who may have been stopped recently by an unmarked vehicle
displaying red and blue flashing lights or by a vehicle of a similar description to the
white Holden Commodore, to contact them.
Anyone who has information which may help in the investigation are asked to call Crime
Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or their local station.
