Two men impersonating police officers pulled over a driver and attempted to fine her £60 for unnecessary travels amid the coronavirus lockdown.
The carer was driving through Brandesburton, East Yorks, yesterday around 9.30am when two men signaled for her to pull over.
The scammers, dressed in black zip-up hoodies, carrying walkie-talkies and wearing earpieces, demanded that the woman pay an on-the-spot fine in cash.
She refused to pay the £60 and drove off. But Humberside Police had to explain that it was not stopping vehicles in relation to Covid-19.
