Kent Police has been assisting an investigation led by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU), linked to allegations the men repeatedly targeted a woman, aged in her 70s, by posing as police officers. It is reported that on Friday 26 August 2022, the victim was initially tricked into handing over a large sum of money to a bogus officer who attended her home, after she had received phone calls from a man claiming there had been fraudulent activity linked to her bank account.
On Tuesday 30 August, a suspicious car was then seen close to the victim’s address and followed by officers. The BMW failed to stop despite the police car illuminating its blue lights. It was pursued onto the M20 and recorded driving dangerously and at excessive speeds to evade capture.
