Tue, 13 Jun 2023

Police are warning of a person pretending to be a police officer.

The force said it has been receiving reports of members of the public receiving calls from a person claiming to be PC 03 Armstrong who is fictitious.

A spokesperson for Isle of Man Constabulary said: "Although we will on occasions contact people by phone, if you are in any doubt that the person you are speaking to is a Police officer, or just want to confirm they are genuine, we will always be happy for you to contact them directly through the Police switchboard on 631212."
