A man who said that two women seduced him, impersonated police and then robbed him approached police last Friday in downtown Boston. The victim told police that the two women asked if the man wanted to have a "good time." When the man said yes, the women directed him to touch one of their breasts. The two women then pushed the man against a wall and said that the man was under arrest and that they were the police. One woman then took valuables from the man's pocket and the two walked away. The police broadcasted the victim's description of the two women. Police found three women, one of whom had a man held by the neck. When the officers approached the women, one of them gave the officer a black wallet. The second victim also told officers that the women had impersonated police.
