Worrying widely shared Facebook post about missing police officer and child is not what it seems The post has been shared over 1,200 times on some local Facebook pages in Wales but police say it is believed to be a scam This post about a missing police officer has been shared over 1,100 times and counting on Facebook (Image: Facebook Screengrab ) Police have confirmed that a widely shared post on local social media claiming that a female police officer is missing is likely fake and a scam. The post, which was shared in local Facebook groups, including in Pembrokeshire and Cardiff, claimed a 'female police officer' named 'Thelma Jakes' had gone missing. It claimed that the authorities had appealed for help in locating her. But Dyfed-Powys Police has now confirmed to WalesOnline that the post is misinformation which the force believes is a scam. When it was posted on a Cardiff Facebook group, the post claimed that the officer was missing in Cardiff, whereas, when it was posted on a Pembrokeshire Facebook group, it claimed that the officer was missing in that area. The post has been shared on several other groups with same content and a different location (Image: Facebook Screengrab ) Article continues below Both posts have been shared at least 1,200 times between them. Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here However the post shared on the Pembrokeshire group has had a greater reach, being shared more than 1,100 times, whereas the one on the Cardiff Facebook group had been shared over 102 times as of publication of this article. The post also tries to evoke an emotional response from those reading it by claiming that the officer's vehicle was discovered with her daughter inside while she remains unaccounted for. It concludes by asking people to share the post saying: "The community's help is urgently required. Sharing this information takes only 2 seconds." Police have warned against this, as it could contribute to misinformation. Dyfed-Powys Police has also said that there are no official reports from any other police force relating to the officer mentioned in the fake post. South Wales Police has also confirmed that there is no missing police officer in Cardiff. In statement on its Facebook pages for Pembrokeshire and surrounding areas, Dyfed-Powys Police said: "We have been made aware of social media posts relating to an alleged missing police officer in the Pembrokeshire area.
