Three Suspects Accused of Posing As Police

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

260xStoryPolice are on the lookout for three criminal suspects who are accused of posing as officers of the law and then robbing and assaulting a business owner. The three men claimed they needed to speak with the victim and then marched him to a gray car. After he entered the vehicle, the criminals pulled their guns on the man and told him they were not, in fact, police officers. They took him to his business and forced him to open the front door. When the shop’s alarm went off, the man tried to escape, but the robbers caught him, assaulted him and stole his personal possessions.

Houston criminal attorneys say that if the men are caught, they will be facing some very serious felony charges, including falsely impersonating an officer of the law, robbery, aggravated assault, and more.
