The Chicago Tribune carries an article that the Indiana State Police is warning drivers of a bogus trooper on I-80 near Hammond. You can read the full article here.

A woman reported being stopped by an unmarked black Ford "police-type" car with interior red and blue flashing lights. She was robbed and her cell phone thrown away.

Read the article for information and tips, should you be stopped there. The Indiana State Police say that troopers must be in uniform or in marked squad cars.
