Dumb Criminals: Man Dresses Like Cop And Destroys Actual Cop Car
During the wee hours of last Wednesday morning Joseph Nicholas Kovacevic is accused of burglarizing several cars and homes in a Riverview subdivision.
In most of the vehicle break-ins the glove compartments were opened and searched but not much of anything of value was found. Three dollars was taken from one car and cigarettes from another, according to a news release from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
But as Kovacevic was attempting to break into one home, a neighbor spotted him and called out to the 21-year-old Riverview man, who then hid behind a tree, the release stated.
Kovacevic was sporting a ballistic vest with “Police” on it and had handcuffs hanging from his belt when the neighbor confronted him and asked him to identify himself, according to the report.
Kovacevic allegedly responded “I am the Police” before fleeing from the scene.
