Police arrest three people in connection to impersonation of police officers incident in North Oxfordshire

Police have arrested two 17-year-old boys from Oxford and Bicester and a 19-year-old man from Oxford on suspicion of impersonating a police constable and have since been released under investigation.

The incident happened when a grey Jaguar with a partial registration of ‘WR59’ was behind a vehicle and illuminated flashing red and blue lights, similar to those on police vehicles. The incident occurred between 2.30 and 2.40pm on Saturday October 2.

The Jaguar then parked behind the vehicle before speeding away from the scene.

It is suspected the men in the Jaguar were impersonating police officers.

The victims were both females.

The suspicious vehicle is described as a Grey Jaguar XF Luxury which had a distinctive large black spoiler on the back.
