Police impostor has Tucson women strip

The Associated Press

TUCSON - Tucson police are warning the public about a man posing as a police officer who talks his way into women's homes and then has them strip.

The man has convinced at least five women to let him inside by showing a badge and telling them that he either was conducting a drug investigation or looking for a warrant suspect.

Once inside he orders the women to take their clothes off as part of a drug investigation.

Officer Linda Galindo says the incidents happened on the south side of town. The suspect does not wear a uniform but was armed in at least one incident.

The man speaks both Spanish and English and is in his late 20s or 30s, between 5-feet, 8 inches tall and 6 feet tall and weighs from 160 pounds to 190 pounds. He is clean shaven with black hair.
