Man charged with impersonating North Vancouver Mountie
NORTH VANCOUVER – Mounties in North Vancouver say a man has been charged after allegedly pulling over a Tesla and falsely identifying himself as an RCMP officer. They say the man was driving a Ford F-150 with lights that resembled emergency vehicle lights. Police say the man was arrested shortly after and was released pending a court date. They say officers determined during the investigation that there may be other victims who were pulled over by the suspect, so they made a social media post requesting victims to come forward. The RCMP say on June 24, the BC Prosecution Service formally charged the man with 'personating a peace officer' and using equipment likely to cause the public to believe he was a peace officer. Cpl. Mansoor Sahak says public safety is the detachment's top priority and they are encouraging the community to feel empowered questioning suspicious behaviour and take steps to verify an officer's identity. 'Your caution could help prevent further incidents and assist in ongoing investigations,' Sahak says in the news release. The release says if people suspect they may have been pulled over by a police impersonator, to take steps such as asking to see their badge, which will display their photo ID and regimental number. It says people could also call 911 and the dispatcher can verify if an officer is conducting a traffic stop in the area. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 17, 2025.

North Vancouver man charged with impersonating police officer
North Vancouver RCMP shared this photo of a truck seized from someone who was arrested for impersonating an officer. Charges have been laid against a North Vancouver man accused of impersonating a police officer, Mounties announced Thursday. The North Vancouver RCMP says on March 1 officers were alerted to a man driving a Ford F-150 that pulled over a Tesla. 'During the interaction, the driver of the F-150 allegedly identified himself as a North Vancouver RCMP officer and it's alleged that his vehicle had lights that resembled emergency vehicle lights,' reads a news release from the detachment. The alleged fake Mountie was arrested a few days later and released with a court date. On June 24, the B.C. Prosecution Service charged Wayne Church, born in 1966, with impersonating a police officer and using equipment likely to cause the public to believe he was a police officer. Church is next due in court July 23. 'Police are offering tips to anyone who may suspect they have been pulled over by a police impersonator,' said spokesperson Cpl. Mansoor Sahak, in the release. 'Public safety is our top priority, and we want to ensure the community feels empowered to question suspicious behaviour. If something doesn't feel right during a traffic stop, trust your instincts and take steps to verify the officer's identity. Your caution could help prevent further incidents and assist in ongoing investigations.' If you suspect you were pulled over by a fake cop, Mounties say to ask to see the officer's identification card and badge. If suspicious, police say to call 911 so a dispatcher can verify if an officer is conducting a traffic stop in the area. 'Trust your instincts: If something feels amiss, inform the individual that you're contacting the police to verify their identity,' the release reads. 'Genuine officers will understand and support your caution.'
