London Police Are Searching For These Two Men Dressed As Cops Who Tried To Force Their Way Into Home

Police have launched an investigation after footage emerged of two men dressed up as police, carrying handcuffs and batons, who tried to enter a home in east London.

Scotland Yard said officers were called on Tuesday October 12 at 6.51pm to a block of flats in Barking.

A woman told them two men “in crude uniform including caps, harnesses and 'asps' (batons)” had tried to get inside to search the property.

The men were initially allowed inside but residents got suspicious and demanded to see ID, which the men couldn’t produce.

A woman can be heard in the clip demanding to see ID but the pair refuse to hand any over.

The woman shouts: “show me your face” and “you come to my house, show me your ID” before one of the men appeared to lash out at her phone.

Both of the men attempted to force their way into the flat using extendable batons.

The men then leave the property, with one apparently trying to talk into his ‘radio’ saying “bring some more in here they are aggressive”.

She added: “Stop hiding your face if you’re the police. What is your reason to come in this house?”
