Duo Busted for Impersonating Cops on L.I.

A man and a woman are under arrest for allegedly impersonating police officers on Long Island.

Nassau County police say Marylynn De Joseph of Bellerose and Twayne Dash of Queens have been charged with criminal impersonation, robbery and conspiracy.

Police say the pair pulled over a car, identified themselves as police officers and said they wanted to search the car.

The driver opened the center console to get his ID, revealing some cash. Police say Dash reached through the window and took the money.

The two then fled in their car.

The incident occurred Saturday evening on Jericho Turnpike in Bellerose.

The defendants are scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

It was not immediately clear if they had obtained lawyers.
