Police bust alleged cop imposters

Police have taken three suspected cop imposters to jail while two others remain on the loose.
Steve Torres, Javier Torres and Adan Torrez were all picked up Sunday afternoon after police raided their house.

Investigators are still looking for Brian Lee Torres and Lucianao Torres in connections with four home invasions last month.

Police say the men even sported police uniforms when they robbed illegal immigrants.

“They were armed with deadly weapons, very often pointing those guns at people, putting them up against their head, demanding money and other things of value,â€

Being illegal only makes you a victim. Many illegals from Central America have been robbery victims in South Florida as they have alot of cash on them on pay day. Others illegals have gangs or organized crime groups who extort money from them.
