Swindlers Pose as Police Officers to Bilk Aircraft Worker
A 68 year old aircraft worker, Patrick J. McKittrick, was duped of $1000 in a ruse where two men posed as police officers. One acted as a lieutenant named McGrath and a plainclothes sergeant urged arrest while a second officer arranged to post bail under a different name. McKittrick withdrew the money and later was told the bail was forfeited due to a name mix up and the fake lieutenant curtly ended the call with a road luck remark.
