New West police issue warning after 'deplorable' criminals impersonating cops convince a senior to give them her debit and credit cards.
New Westminster police are warning residents to be wary about criminals impersonating police officers.
From what investigators have learned, it is believed that multiple people posing as police officers spoke to a senior at her home and manipulated her into handing over several credit and debit cards, which were later used to make fraudulent purchases, said a NWPD news release. “This is deplorable criminal activity targeting vulnerable people who badly need their hard-earned savings and pension income by exploiting their trust of the police,” said Sgt. Andrew Leaver, media relations officer. “I’d like to speak to these criminals directly: ‘You should turn yourself in today.’”
