Charged with impersonating police

Police have charged a man with impersonating a police officer.

The incident occurred about 4:50pm on August 14, when a man in a white Mitsubishi Magna was involved in a minor traffic incident with another vehicle, driven by an off-duty officer on Barrenjoey Rd, Ettalong Beach.

Police have been told the man approached the off-duty officer and produced what appeared to be a police identification badge.

The off-duty officer challenged the man who returned to his vehicle and left.

Following an investigation, about 4:45pm on September 10, police attended an Ashfield address and arrested a 52-year-old man.

He was taken to Burwood Police Station and charged with impersonating a police officer in circumstances of aggravation.

The man was granted conditional bail and will appear at Woy Woy Local Court on September 27.
