Phony cop stops motorist in Essex

For the second time in two weeks a driver has reported being pulled over by a man impersonating a police officer, this time in Essex. Police said a woman reported that a man driving a light blue or green Honda pulled up behind her and followed her to her home. When she got home, the man got out of his car and told her to get out of her car, identifying himself as a cop. He complained about her driving, then left. Police said the latest incident does not appear to be related to a July incident in which a man with a red light and siren on his car pulled a woman over. Police have released a composite sketch of the man, who is described as white, about 5 feet 7, with a mustache. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
