Fake Cops Rob Family's Home in Miami While Family Was Home, Suffered Injuries

Miami, Fla. -

The real Miami Police are reporting that fake police robbed a family while in their home at 18695 SW 291st St. in Miami.

The men were described as four hispanic men wearing all black. After knocking on the door they ordered to family outside, then back inside while they robbed the family who suffered minor injuries. Authorities said the fake cops never showed a badge or ID.

Police recommend that you require anyone claiming they are a law enforcement officer to show their ID and badge, and to call the police if you still suspect the person is not a real police officer.
