Man pretended to be a cop, entered home and stole cash, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says
A suspect impersonating a San Antonio police officer is seen in this photo provided by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.A man dressed as a police officer conned his way into a home in western Bexar County on Friday evening, robbed the occupants and later was in custody, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
A handgun holstered on his hip, Salvatore Alfieri, 38, approached a home on Sheep Hair Street around 6 p.m. wearing a police vest, a blue shirt and a blue ski mask and convinced the young woman who came to the door that he needed to be let inside to search for “contraband,” Sheriff Javier Salazar said Sunday.
“What led us to him was that he was using a vehicle that he had rented through an app call Turo,” Salazar said. “He rented a car from an individual and by the look of it he used it just for this, so he didn’t have to use his own vehicle. But we were able to track him down fairly easily.” “What really rang the bells with me was that he was just so confident,” the sheriff said. “When he drove up it wasn’t like he was looking for an address. He drove in and straight into the driveway, got out and walked up to the front door, really with some purpose. … He was very confident in his demeanor. Which led me to believe this is probably not the first time he has done this.”“They’ll do this to each other quite frequently, and it is an unreported crime,” Salazar said.
“We don’t believe the victims in this case are drug dealers” but Alfieri appeared to know enough about the household to target it specifically, Salazar said.LATEST SPORTS NEWS
