Fake ICE Agent
Yells ‘Immigration,’ Zip-Ties Woman
In Brazen Philly Robbery!!!
Published
As Immigration Customs and Enforcement raids go down across the country, ICE now has its very own impersonator … and he’s wreaking his own brand of havoc in Philadelphia.
Detectives are searching for a man posing as an ICE agent, who they say tied up a woman and stole $1,000 in cash from her at a repair shop last weekend.
Police say the sham agent screamed “Immigration” before tying up the woman for more than 2 hours and swiping her money. The woman was eventually freed by a co-worker long after the suspect had fled in a white Ford van.
The “agent” attempted to look the part as he arrived at the business — cops say he was dressed in a long-sleeve shirt, green cargo pants and a black tactical vest emblazoned with the words, “Security Enforcement Agent.” He also wore a black baseball cap with an American flag on the front and a pair of black sunglasses.
During the robbery, the 50-year-old woman suffered arm bruises while trying to fight off the fake fed. She told FOX29 she was born in the Dominican Republic, but has been a U.S. citizen since 2007.
The woman also said she attempted to get a good look at the man’s face, but he would twist her back around so she couldn’t see his mug..
