A lot of trick or treaters will be on the streets Saturday night, and Warren police want residents to be alert after two men posing as police officers allegedly tried to talk their way into a Touisset home Wednesday night.

At about 10:18 p.m., a 38 Shore Drive woman called officers to report that two men had just tried to get into her home.

She said the men, whom she did not recognize, identified themselves as Warren police officers. One at the front door held a gold badge against an exterior window as he identified himself, and another, who didn’t talk, knocked at a side kitchen door.

The men told the woman that there were warrants for her arrest, and that DCYF was going to take her children. The men weren’t in uniform, and they weren’t driving a cruiser but a dark four-door sedan. The woman refused to allow them into the home, and dialed 911. As she delayed them, the man at the front door banged his shoulder against it to try to force it.

After she called 911, the men left in a dark four-door sedan, turing onto Chace Road.

The woman described the men as follows:

At the front door: A dark-skinned Caucasian, approximately six feet tall, medium build, with a goatee. Wearing a blue hooded New England Patriots sweatshirt.

Side door: Light-skinned Caucasian, thin build, approximately six feet in height, with a large nose. He was also wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.

D.C.Y.F. was contacted and confirmed that their agency did not have anyone assigned to respond to the home. However police wouldn’t say Saturday whether the woman was targeted due to a custody issue.

Deputy Warren Police Chief Joseph Loiselle said residents should be alert and contact the police if they see anyone suspicious. Also, they’re asking that Touisset residents keep an eye open for a dark four-door sedan that could be related to the incident.

Anyone with information should contact the Warren Police Department Detective Division at 245-1311.
