Christchurch Police have issued a caution as a man, impersonating an officer, has been knocking on doors, asking for people's bank cards, PIN numbers and cheque books.
Police Communications shift commander Tony Ellis said the man was elderly in his late 20s to early 30s and has been targeting the elderly in eastern areas of Christchurch over the past two days.
He has been successful in obtaining cards and cash on three instances, including once on Tuesday evening in New Brighton.
The man does not have a uniform, but has been telling people he is a police officer and there has been a banking trouble, or something similar, which he needs their cards and details to fix.
