Woman charged with impersonating police officer
(HTM) Source
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Dunedin woman is in hot water with authorities, after allegedly
impersonating a police officer to get her ex-partner in trouble with
their landlord.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police went to a
property in Mornington at 6.30pm yesterday where they arrested a
woman.
On April 10, the 27-year-old woman called a property management
company for her ex-partner's rented home from a private phone number.
The woman told the company she was a police officer and was calling to
speak about the tenant, police said.
She then gave the company incorrect information about her former
partner.
The woman's ruse was debunked, police were contacted and they made
inquiries into the incident.
She was arrested yesterday and charged with impersonating a police
officer.
