Police are looking for a Bronx robbery suspect who they say pretended to be an officer.

Police say the man entered a BP gas station on Conner Street in the Eastchester section of Bronx on November 27, 2014 and told the attendant he was a police officer.

According to police, the suspect then simulated that he had a weapon on his waist and tried to handcuff the attendant.

The attendant was able to break free and call police.

They say the suspect stole about $300 before he ran away.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline at 1–800–577–TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit NYPDCrimestoppers.com.
