Mounties in Leduc are investigating reports of a suspicious vehicle driving around with blue and red lights flashing, the same colors used by police.
On June 14, 2022, police reported that the vehicle was spotted in the area of Township Road 501 and Range Road 244 in Leduc County.
Officers later located the morning before a red, older model pickup with flashing lights headed south in the same area. They said the lights were attached to the sun visor on the driver’s side.
The driver is described as a man in his 20s wearing a hat. Police said it is not believed he was wearing a uniform or attempted to stop anyone.
Section 130 of the Criminal Code of Canada makes it an offense to falsely impersonate a peace or public officer, or to use a badge, clothing or equipment in a manner that leads people to believe that someone is an officer.
Police are reminding people that they can ask an officer to see their badge and police photo ID. The public can also call the police emergency number to confirm the identity of an officer.
Anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver in this case is asked to call police.
