A pregnant woman had her car hijacked by two men impersonating police officers in Eltham.
The incident happened on January 17 around 7am in Middle Park Avenue.
A 33-year-old woman was driving a which BMW 520 and as she drove towards the Yorkshire Grey roundabout she became aware of another BMW, which then activated a blue flashing light in the windscreen.
Thinking it was police, she pulled over and a man got out of the black BMW 4x4, approached her and identified himself as a police officer.
He showed a lanyard with a leather cover, but she did not see a crest or badge.
He asked her to leave the car and he then got in the driver's seat and drove off, followed by the black BMW.
The victim's handbag was in the car and was later recovered in Liskeard Gardens, Blackheath.
Her debit card was later used in a shop in Charlton.
The suspect who drove off in the victim's car is described is white, aged 30 to 35, slim build with close cropped dark brown hair and facial stubble and the suspect who drove the BMW is described as a white man, aged 30 to 35.
