Multiple Detroit police officers suspected of armed robbery during traffic stops

DETROIT — Multiple Detroit police officers are suspected of committing armed robbery during recent traffic stops. There are reports of multiple incidents involving at least three officers. One victim said he was pulled over by three men in a unmarked Crown Victoria. The man was searched and while he answered questions, and the cops took his wallet and CDs. Another involved two men in a black Ford F-150 with police lights, pulling into a gas station and allegedly pistol-whipped customers pumping gas. The men stole cash and cell phones from their victims. A warning went out to be on the lookout for “fake cops” but it turns out those officers were not fake after all. It appears the sergeant in this case was driving his personal vehicle.
