Officers say a man in his late 20s was driving a dark-colored four-door sedan, possibly a Ford Crown Victoria, when he pulled a woman over Wednesday morning in the parking lot of the Fishburn United Methodist Church in Hershey.
Police say the man then asked the woman if he could search her car. After a discussion between the two, the female agreed to the search believing the man was a legitimate police officer.
