The Kingston police are warning the public about an Instagram account impersonating one of its Sergeants.
The account, which uses the handle ‘TPS Koopman,’ resembles that of Sgt. Steve Koopman.
Police say some have received messages from the account suggesting there are warrants for unpaid traffic tickets and going on to say legal action will be initiated if the tickets are not paid.
