Fake Traffic Cops Busted After Using a Microwave as a Speed Camera to Fine Unsuspecting Drivers
Follow on Google News 
A bizarre and brazen roadside scam has been exposed after a group of criminals posed as traffic officers and used a microwave oven mounted on a tripod stand as a fake speed camera. The fraudsters stopped motorists, claimed they had been caught speeding, and demanded on-the-spot fines. Authorities have since arrested the suspects following the discovery of the deceptive operation.
The scheme was convincing enough to fool multiple drivers. The suspects dressed to appear as legitimate law enforcement officers, adding to the deception.
The improvised device — a household microwave placed on a tripod — was used to mimic professional speed-detection equipment. Drivers who questioned the fine were reportedly pressured into paying immediately.
It remains unclear how long the operation ran before authorities intervened. The number of victims and the total amount of money collected by the suspects has not yet been confirmed.
The suspects are now in custody and the investigation is ongoing. Traffic authorities are urging the public to verify the identity of any officer before paying a roadside fine, and to request an official receipt for any traffic penalty issued.
