Police impersonator sought in Camden sex assault
Police are looking for a man who impersonated a Camden police officer and sexually assaulted a woman early on Friday.
According to Philly.com, a man wearing a shield and a patch labeled ‘police’ approached a woman as she was doing business in a vehicle. The woman admitted to authorities that she was a prostitute and that she was accompanied by a customer at the time.
It was then that a man, dressed in a dark colored baseball cap, also labeled ‘police’, wearing a holster with “what appeared to be a gun and a yellow walkie-talkie” approached the vehicle.
It was around 5:45 a.m. when the impersonator told the customer to leave, and then assaulted the woman in a nearby lot.
Authorities are looking for both the “officer” and the customer.
