Four charged with impersonating cops to commit robberies
Four people have been arrested and charged with committing robberies and firearms offenses while impersonating law enforcement agents, announced Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The suspects were identified as Marco Perez, Said Rivera and Morelos Dilsa, all of Queens, and Dinos Psirros of the Bronx.
“As alleged, these defendants brought violence and fear into their victims’ homes by masquerading as armed law enforcement agents and then robbing the victims. Not only did they steal from the targets of their crimes, they also dishonored the fine men and women who risk their lives every day by enforcing the law and protecting the public,” said Bharara.
