A FAKE copper stopped and searched a Barnsley woman as she walked home alone at night.
Kelly Green, 22, was making her way on foot from Darton to Kexborough at about 11pm on Friday when she was stopped by what she thought was a marked police car on the motorway bridge at Churchfield Lane, the main road linking the two villages.
She said a man dressed in a police uniform got out of the car - which had blue lights and checkered insignia - who told her he was going to search her on suspicion of carrying drugs.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.

Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
