CRIME: Fraud at TD Bank

RCMP FILE: 2006-49247

A cunning conman defrauded several TD Bank branches of more than $10,000 on September 7, 2005. He went to the Dilworth, Spall and Westbank locations providing a false name and stolen ID, and requested cash in Canadian and US funds for a business deal south of the border. Although the identification seemed to match his description, it was later discovered he had stolen the identity of an Ontario man. The suspect is described as a non-white male, 5’ 8 – 10”, 200 – 220 lbs., black hair, balding on top, who spoke with an East Indian accent.
