An unidentified man who claimed to be an LSU Police Department officer and robbed a student on campus remains at large, and police are asking for help in identifying the suspect by releasing pictures of the man in a broadcast e-mail Wednesday.The suspect approached people at the Student Union on Jan. 30 and claimed to be an out-of-uniform LSU police officer, according to the broadcast e-mail. The suspect asked the victims for identification and instructed them to remain in their vehicle. He then walked away with the victims’ driver’s licenses.The incident was reported the same day, said Kevin Scott, LSUPD spokesman. Police waited to notify the University community until it had conducted an investigation.”We didn’t want to send anything out preemptively,” Scott said. “We wanted to wait until our leads were exhausted.”The incident was not classified as an emergency because there was no imminent threat or weapon involved, Scott said.”[The suspect] could have very well done it again, but we had patrol officers respond, canvas the campus and try to locate the person, but we came up empty,” Scott said.All LSUPD officers carry an official identification card, which students should ask to see if approached by an out-of-uniform officer, Scott said.”We’ve exhausted all of our leads,” Scott said. “We’re trying to get the community to help us.”
