Windsor police seek suspects in $64K fraud

Windsor police are looking for information after two people were caught on camera engaging in suspected fraud.

Officers from the Financial Crimes Unit responded to a local financial institution on Tuesday. They were told the pair had artificially inflated a synthetically created bank account by depositing a fraudulent cheque. They then aggressively withdrew the falsified balance through ATM withdrawals and account transfers.

The transactions totaled $64,537.24.

Surveillance camera images of a man and woman have been released.

The male is described as of East Indian descent, with a heavy build, short brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses.

The female is described as Asian, with a slender build, long brown hair with blonde highlights, and brown eyes.

Both are wanted for fraud over $5,000, fraudulently obtaining credit over $5,000, uttering forged documents, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Anyone who can identify the suspects should call the Windsor police's Financial Crimes Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4330. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
