In each instance, a man approached a Middle Eastern or Asian person, displayed a gold badge, identified himself as a police officer and said he was conducting an investigation. The police imposter told his victims he needed to examine the contents of their wallets, removed credit cards while the owners were distracted, then returned the wallets. The stolen credit cards were later used to make purchases at local stores.
