Car dealerships advised to be on lookout for fraud suspect

The public is being asked to help RCMP find a fraud suspect.

Police say the man shown in the attached photos is a person of interest in several fraud investigations tied to car dealerships in the Kelowna and Castlegar areas. He is believed to be using multiple aliases and police are warning local automotive/car dealership centres to be on the lookout.

Recently an employee of a dealership in the 2500 block of Enterprise Way reported four attempted frauds by the unknown man who was using different names but had the same identification photo on each of the four driver licences produced.

RCMP say the same man has been linked to several other failed fraud attempts at other car dealerships throughout Kelowna, Lake Country and other jurisdictions dating back to 2022.
