Fake cop robs Alvin woman

ALVIN, Texas -- Investigators are trying to find the fake cop who they said pulled over a pregnant woman and robbed her.

Alvin police said the 26-year-old Houston woman, who is eight months pregnant, was driving in the 300 block of Highway 6 about 9 p.m. Monday when she saw flashing blue and red lights in her rearview mirror.

Investigators said the woman pulled over and a man dressed in a blue uniform approached her window with a flashlight. The man asked the woman for her license and registration, and when she leaned over to grab them, he pulled out a gun, detectives said.

"At that point he asked for her wallet. She gave it to him, he jumped in his vehicle and drove off," said Alvin Chief of Police Mike Merkel.
Merkel said the woman didn't a get good look at the man because she was so terrified.
"It was such an alarming encounter, she never paid attention to what the vehicle may have looked like," he said.

Police said the woman started having labor pains and had to go get checked out by doctors, who said she and the baby are doing fine.

Detectives are trying to find the man. They don't have a lot of information to go on, except that he was wearing a blue uniform and his vehicle had flashing lights.
"She could not describe whether they were internally located or whether they were on the exterior part of the vehicle," Merkel said.
