Fake Policemen

Four Romanians who pretended to be police officers, have been arrested on Sunday in Rotterdam. The police reported that three of them tried to rob a 53-year-old Taiwanese by pressing him a corner while they yelled 'police' and showing him something that looked like a police badge. The man, who did not trust the situation, managed to flee. Not far away from the crime site he was able to report the attempted robbery to real cops. Immediately the police force of Rotterdam came into action and was able to arrest the three suspects and a fourth Romanian man who drove the car in which the eastern Europeans wanted to escape. The Romanian men were 31, 40, 51 and 51 years old.
