Police are looking for three or four men accused of trying to get into Northwest Side homes by pretending to be Chicago cops.
In three separate incidents in the last week, the men, ranging in age from about 18 to 36 years old, knocked on the doors of homes, telling homeowners they were police officers or undercover officers, a community alert from Grand Central Area detectives said.
In each, the men had police paraphernalia, such as gold badges and radios. In two of the attempts, they got into the homes but later fled in a large, dark red SUV or navy Blue Town & Country van, the alert said.
Hunt them down.
