The Police Headquarters has urged the public to remain vigilant and cautious amid reports of fraudsters impersonating police officers using the names and photographs of real law enforcement personnel.

In a press release issued today (25 May), the Police Headquarters said it has received complaints about fraud rings who are identifying themselves as police officers to deceive and defraud individuals.

Authorities have warned people not to fall victim to such scams and advised verifying the identity of anyone claiming to be a police officer before engaging with them.
