COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Two women were sexually assaulted by a man posing as an officer in two different cities just hours apart on Friday.

Now investigators in Atlanta and Cobb County believe the same man could be behind the attacks.

Investigators told Channel 2’s Wendy Halloran that the impostor cop wears a uniform and drives what looks like a police cruiser.

Now, both departments are afraid he won’t stop until he’s caught.

The first incident happened around 1 a.m. A 25-year old woman was driving along Nash Road in northwest Atlanta when she thought she was being pulled over by a police officer.

Instead she was sexually assaulted.

"Right now, he’s a menace to any person driving out there in the hours of darkness who can’t recognize if that’s a real police officer or not," Sgt. Wayne Delk with the Cobb County Police Department said.

That same morning, around 4:30 a.m., another woman was driving to work along Terrell Mill Road and Paper Mill Road in Cobb County when she saw flashing lights.

She thought she was being pulled over. Delk told Halloran that the impostor asked for the woman’s driver’s license and then assaulted her.
