Kelowna car dealerships told to be wary of potential fraudster

A person of interest in several Kelowna, B.C., fraud investigations is being sought by police.

Mounties said a man is believed to have targeted car dealerships in the Kelowna and Castlegar areas, allegedly using multiple aliases.

He came to police attention most recently when an employee of a car dealership in the 2500 block of Enterprise Way reported to the police four attempted frauds by an unknown man who was using different names, with the same identification photo on four driver’s licences produced, RCMP said in a release.
