The Waterloo Regional Police Service is looking for two suspects who allegedly posed as out-of-region police officers in a Kitchener robbery.

Police were told two unknown males went to a home in the Arrowhead Crescent area on Wednesday around 1:50 p.m. The pair said they were officers who were investigating a previous fraud report involving the victims.

The suspects said they had arrested people connected to the fraud investigation and asked about cash and valuables inside the home.

When the victims asked for ID, the males said they were plainclothes officers from the Greater Toronto Area and handed over ID cards they wore on chains. They did not have proper police identifications, which include a photo, name, rank, and police service.

The suspects asked the victims to get cash from within the home so they could document it as part of the investigation. When the residents brought the cash to the pair, one of the suspects snatched it and they both ran to a vehicle where a third person waited in the driver’s seat.

The first suspect was described as a 6’0” white or tanned male with a medium build and dark hair. He wore a navy blue T-shirt, dark beige khaki pants, brown shoes and a navy blue baseball cap with a logo.

The second suspect was also a 6’0” white or tanned male. He had a medium build, but was smaller than the first suspect, and wore a navy blue T-shirt, dark beige khaki pants, brown slip-on shoes and a navy blue baseball cap with a logo.

The vehicle has been described as a dark blue Volkswagen Atlas.
