El Paso Police want to warn drivers about a suspect passing himself off as a police officers to make sexual advances toward the driver.

There's been two cases in two weeks in Northeast El Paso.

"It's scary. You never know what could happen to you. Obviously, you think it's a police officer who will protect you and for someone to be posing it's scary," said Analaura Valle from Northeast El Paso.

As KFOX reported, on Sept. 16, the suspect made a traffic stop around midnight at Railroad and Loop 375. The suspect was driving a gold Ford Focus with red lights on the dashboard. Police say He was wearing a shoulder holster with a handgun and displayed a badge with an eagle on it. He approached the driver and identified himself as a police officer. He made sexual advances toward the driver then left the scene.

"You can't just trust anybody. You have to make sure they have their badge and all that stuff," said Yvette Vargas from Northeast El Paso.

A week earlier on Sept. 9, and just a few miles from the Railroad location, the same type of incident happened at about 2 a.m. at the 1000 block of Robert E. Lee. This time the suspect drove an unmarked white Crown Victoria.

There's been other cases of police impersonators in the past in El Paso and in Las Cruces. But El Paso police officials say it's hard to say if any of those cases are linked to this latest suspects.

Police say some of the cases are very different. There were six cases of police impersonators in Las Cruces. One involved a woman who was raped. No one has been arrested and police don't know if this was the doing of one man or several. In El Paso, a man posing as an officer tried to kidnap a girl.

"You just don't know. It's a question whether or not they have the right identification or if their car is really marked. Because they're pretty much known," said Vargas.

He is described as a hispanic man between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall with dark hair and is clean-shaven.

The descriptions for the cars are an unmarked Ford Crown Victoria or a gold or metallic Ford Focus. Both cars have red lights on the dashboard. If you have any information you're asked to call crime stoppers at 566-8477.
