In Cuenca, Ecuador, bad actors posing as National Police staged home invasions victimizing Expats in two incidents this month.
In one, phony cops wearing green vests and armed with handguns gained access to a home by claiming they were responding to a child-endangered call.
Once inside, they terrorized the residents, stealing their cash and their mobile phones.
In another incident near the Miraflores park, the ne'er-do-wells pretended to be drug enforcement officers.
