A Dunedin woman is in hot water with authorities, after allegedly impersonating a police officer to get her ex-partner in trouble with their landlord.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police went to a property in Mornington at 6.30pm yesterday where they arrested a woman.
On April 10, the 27-year-old woman called a property management company for her ex-partner’s rented home from a private phone number.
The woman told the company she was a police officer and was calling to speak about the tenant, police said.
She then gave the company incorrect information about her former partner.
The woman’s ruse was debunked, police were contacted and they made inquiries into the incident.
She was arrested yesterday and charged with impersonating a police officer.
