The Paulding County Sheriff's Office has released new composites of the suspects accused of impersonating police and robbing a woman last week.  She was driving alone in Paulding County and says she was pulled over by a black Ford Crown Victoria with a blue light on the dashboard.

"The male on the driver's side of the vehicle requested her driver's license, while the male on the passenger side actually brandished a firearm and pointed it in her direction."  Paulding County Sheriff's Corporal Ashley Henson tells WSB.  "The male took [her wallet] from her and then they fled." 

Authorities think this is an isolated incident.

Still, Sheriff Gary Gulledge urges drivers, if they're uneasy, to flash their hazards and continue to a well-lit, populated area before pulling over. 

They can also call 9-1-1 to verify the officer pulling them over is legitimate.
