Brooklyn

A man claiming to be a cop from a Williamsburg precinct warned a landlord not to bother a tenant for overdue rent — and now Internal Affairs is investigating, sources said. The landlord received a call last Thursday from a man who said he was a cop named "Officer Henderson" and warned, "You will be charged with harassment" if the victim continued to try and collect the rent, according to sources. The landlord, who rents commercial space on West 26th Street in Manhattan, was suspicious and called the tenant to inquire if they had any information about the purported officer, sources added. The tenant claimed they were in contact with an "Officer Henderson in the 90th Precinct," and provided the landlord with a shield number, sources said. The landlord discovered there's no "Officer Henderson" in the 90th Precinct and the shield number was fake. Police and the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating the incident as a felony police impersonation.
