[5] Bmw Fife Making This Month News

Police are hunting a man who posed as an officer and tried to force a woman out of her car.

The bogus officer used a blue flashing light on the front of his BMW car to signal to the woman to pull over as she drove on Leslie Road, close to the Fettykil Fox restaurant, in Glenrothes, Fife, at around 12.20am last Monday.

When Calise Maclean stopped, the fake officer told her to get out of the car.

When she asked what for, he insisted she get into his vehicle for 'follow-up questions'.

However she refused and drove-off before contacting police.

Caslie Maclean has warned others to beware of people dressing up as police officers 

In a warning to others Miss Maclean, 25, who is engaged, described her ordeal on Facebook.

She wrote: 'I was stopped by what I thought was an unmarked police car, it was a black three series BMW.

'When the person approached my window and asked for my licence, I realised they were not wearing the correct outfit.

'Instead they had only black trousers and a t-shirt that had police written on the arm.

'I asked what I was stopped for and they hesitated and insisted I get in their car for follow-up questions.

'I refused and he asked me to wait a few minutes, I then noticed two gentlemen getting out either side of the car and walk towards mine.

'At this point I drove away home.'

The 25-year-old, who works at the Bank of Scotland, added: 'Police were involved and confirmed tonight it was not police who stopped me.

'Who knows what these people wanted and I dread to think what could have happened if I got in their car.' 

The man posing as an officer was described as tall and thin with a tanned complexion. He was dressed in dark clothing similar to a police officer.

The incident follows similar reports in South Lanarkshire in recent weeks when two men posing as officers stole a car.

A grey Volkswagen Passat fitted with blue flashing lights stopped a black Audi A1 in Mavor Avenue, East Kilbride, on October 30 and two bogus police officers, dressed in dark uniform, persuaded the Audi driver to get out of his car before one of the suspects drove off with the vehicle.

The other suspect left in the Passat.

In two other cases in East Kilbride and Hamilton, drivers who were pulled over refused to leave their vehicles and the suspects fled.

Speaking about the Glenrothes incident, Inspector Joanne McEwan said: 'The driver did the right thing by acting on her suspicions, not getting out of her car and contacting police.

'This seems to have been an isolated incident and we have not had any similar reports locally, however we are keen to hear from anyone who can help us with our inquiries.'

Anyone with information is asked to call officers on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
