Police are investigating a serial robber who has been impersonating a KCPD officer.
Kansas City Police need your help to identify a suspect who has robbed four women and sexually assaulted one of them.
All the victims had previously arranged to meet the suspect by phone at area hotels throughout the city. The victims all invited him into their rooms.
On May 11, at about 7:30 pm, the suspect met a 26-year-old female victim at her hotel room in the 3800 block of Blue Ridge Cutoff. Once inside, the suspect identified himself as a KCPD detective and handcuffed the victim. The suspect searched the hotel room, took items, and then left.
On June 25, at about 8:30 p.m., the suspect met a 32-year-old female victim in front of her hotel in the 500 block of East 105th Street. The victim walked the suspect up to her room and, once inside, the suspect identified himself as a KCPD officer and handcuffed the victim. The suspect searched the hotel room, took items, and then left.
On July 20, at about 4:30 a.m., the suspect met an 18-year-old female victim at her hotel room in the 1600 block of Parvin Road. Once inside the room, the suspect pinned the victim down and raped her. Afterward, the suspect identified himself as a KCPD officer, took items, and then left.
On August 19, at about 5:20 a.m., the suspect met a 27-year-old female victim in front of her hotel in the 500 block of East 105th Street. The victim walked the suspect up to her room and, once inside; the suspect identified himself as a KCPD officer and handcuffed the victim. The suspect searched the hotel room, took items, and then left.
The suspect has been described as a black male with a light complexion in his mid 20’s. He is 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall and weighs about 150 to 160 pounds. He has a tattoo on his inner right forearm.
In all four incidents, the suspect was wearing a sleeveless vest over a gray “Police KC/MO” T-shirt. The suspect had a generic badge (not a KCPD badge) and was armed with a black handgun.
A metallic blue Chevy Equinox may be connected to this suspect. The vehicle was described as having dark tinted windows and a damaged or missing front bumper.
Police have obtained surveillance video of the suspect from two of the hotels, and still photographs are attached.
Police believe there may be more victims who are afraid to report the incidents due to the suspect identifying himself as a police officer. Anyone with information is urged to contact the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
If someone says they are a police officer but you suspect they are not, call 911.
