Terror: Woman’s shock after being pulled over by fake policeman.

Woman was pulled over in Glenrothes by imitator in BMW

A Fife woman has spoken of her terror after her car was pulled over by a bogus police officer.

Calise Jade Maclean was stopped by what she initially believed to be an unmarked police BMW close to her home in Glenrothes.

However, having become suspicious when she was asked to get out of her Mercedes, the 25-year-old drove off fearing for her safety.

Police have since confirmed that the car did not belong to them and Calise is now warning unsuspecting motorists to be on guard.

“When the person approached my window and asked for my license I realised they were not wearing the correct police 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 got 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. “I dread to think what could have happened if I got in their car.”

The car has been described as a black 3 series BMW, which featured a blue flashing light on the front grill.

The driver of the BMW is described as a tall, thin man with a tanned complexion and dressed in dark clothing similar to a police officer.

Inquiries have confirmed that the BMW was not a police car, nor was the male a police officer.

The incident happened last Monday at around 12.20am on the A911 Leslie Road, close to the Fettykil Fox restaurant. Police are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

Community Inspector Joanne McEwan from Glenrothes Police Station 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 should call officers on 101 or, anonymously, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
