Authorities are investigating an incident in which a woman allegedly disguised herself as a police officer in an attempt to gain entry into a home.
Police say the suspect wore what appeared to be an authentic law enforcement uniform, complete with a badge and equipment belt, and approached a residence while portraying herself as an officer. According to investigators, the woman intended to carry out a robbery once inside.
The plan reportedly unraveled when the door was opened by an individual who immediately recognized something was wrong. Details of what transpired next have not been fully disclosed, but officials confirm the suspect’s cover was compromised, and she was taken into custody shortly afterward.
Investigators are now working to determine whether the suspect acted alone or was part of a larger scheme. She faces charges including impersonating a police officer and attempted burglary.
