A fake policeman was arrested in the act of identity theft. The individual would also have harassed a minor and tried to extort money from passers-by.
The operation was carried out by the police services under the wilaya of Marrakech. The fake policeman scammed several people in the name of the police. He was blackmailing passers-by near the Koutoubia Mosque for not respecting the state of health emergency and not wearing the mandatory mask, reports the daily Assabah.
According to the same source, the individual’s actions were reported by a passer-by to the tourist police in the city of Marrakech. The witness also reported to the authorities that the fake policeman had also harassed a minor, throwing provocative remarks at her on the pretext that she was not wearing her mask properly.
