The North Vancouver RCMP has laid charges in an investigation involving an individual allegedly impersonating as a police officer.

Authorities state that on March 1, 2025, North Vancouver RCMP were notified about a man driving a Ford F-150 who had pulled over a Tesla driver. During the interaction, the driver of the F-150 allegedly identified himself as a North Vancouver RCMP officer, and it’s claimed his vehicle had lights resembling those of emergency vehicles. Shortly after, the man was arrested by North Vancouver RCMP and released with a pending court date.

During the course of the investigation, detectives determined there could be additional victims who were pulled over by the same man and issued a media release requesting victims to come forward.

The RCMP announced that on June 24, 2025, the BC Prosecution Service formally charged Wayne Church of North Vancouver with personating a peace officer and using equipment likely to cause the public to believe he was a peace officer, contrary to Section 130 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
