Police In Montco Investigating Incident Of Police Impersonation

UPPER MERION, PA — Township police are asking for help in locating an individual they say impersonated a police officer earlier this month.

The Upper Merion Police Department said while investigating a separate incident, they discovered evidence indicating that someone impersonated a police officer back on April 21 a little before midnight when the individual attempted to pull over a vehicle on South Henderson and South Gulph Roads.

During an unrelated review of traffic cameras, police discovered video that showed a white Jeep Grand Cherokee being followed by a dark colored pickup truck that was displaying a flashing red and blue police light on the dash of the vehicle.

The driver of the Jeep pulled over just north of the intersection with the pickup truck driver pulling up alongside of the Jeep, police stated.

After a brief verbal exchange, the pickup truck is seen pulling away, according to police.

"We have been able to confirm that the person in the pickup truck was not a police officer," the Upper Merion Township Police Department stated in a news release.

The department said it is seeking to locate the driver of the white Jeep in order to interview the individual about the incident.

Anyone with information is being asked to call 610-265-3232.
