The Ontario Provincial Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in connection with an interprovincial identity fraud investigation.

Officers with the Nottawasaga detachment in Ontario issued a release saying they were first contacted on Nov. 27, 2025, by a victim who reported that their personal information had been used to create a fraudulent piece of identification.

Police allege that fake ID was then used at a banking institution in New Tecumseth, Ont., to open a credit card in the victim’s name.
