MEN claiming to be undercover police tried to attack a couple in the north Cotswolds.

Dan Maycock and his girlfriend were in Cold Aston last night when they were approached by three men, thought to be in their 20s, saying they were from Thames Valley Police.

The couple came away unscathed after the men tried to ‘jump’ them.

The fake police were said to be driving a blue BMW 3 Series with a 64 plate.

Dan said in a Facebook post: “I suggest anyone trying to pull you over, unless they have blue lights don't stop. Luckily me or my girlfriend wasn't hurt.

“This happened in Cold Aston but they also (according to sources) chased a guy from Stratford to Mickleton. I hope these scums are found and dealt with immediately before anyone gets hurt.”

Anyone with information should call 101.
