COUDERSPORT — At approximately 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Coudersport-based state police investigated a report of two individuals impersonating a public servant on Route 244 through Oswayo Borough.

According to the report, the suspect vehicle was described as a White Mercury Grand Marquis with a black front push bar and long, blue and white, light bar inside the windshield. The suspect vehicle followed a vehicle driven by a 49-year-old female onto Brizzie Hollow Road and then Pierce Hill Road, where they activated their light bar stopping the female driver.

According to the victim, the suspects exited their vehicle and began walking to her vehicle. Upon realizing the suspects were not legitimate police officer’s the victim fled.

The victim described the suspects to police as two white males wearing brown sweatshirts with their hoods up over their heads, and dark-colored jeans.

The police report emphasized that this is the third occurrence PSP Coudersport is investigating regarding impersonating a public servant and the suspects and suspect vehicles are very similar in both instances.

State police offered the following recommendation in the case someone is being stopped and is not sure if it is actually a police officer:

— Activate your four ways.

— Call 911 and inform them that you are being stopped and inquire if it is actually a police officer.

— If you do not have service to call 911, drive to a well lit area and/or a public location where other people would be present.

PSP Coudersport is asking the public for assistance in locating the suspects and the suspect vehicle. Anyone who has any information regarding the above incidents are asked to call PSP Coudersport at 814-274-8690.
