Two University of West Florida students and two others have reported separate incidents involving a man impersonating a police officer in the past two weeks, the Voyager reports. One of the incidents involved sexual assault.

County police are warning students and residents to be on the lookout and are searching for "an unmarked, retired, and auctioned-off police vehicle." Police believe at least two of the incidents are related and that the man, dressed as an officer and using a car equipped with flashers or a spotlight, is targeting young women.
