A 37-year-old man was jailed for 18-months on Sunday after he pleaded guilty to fraud and impersonating a police officer.
The police said on Facebook that they had received reports that a man stopped people and ‘fined’ them for not wearing a mask after he claimed to be a police officer.
The man was eventually arrested in Sliema and charged in court on Sunday.
Inspectors Jessica Bezzina and Leeroy Balzan Engerer prosecuted.
