Man lands $80k from Steinbach bank with fake ID, buys gold

RCMP are looking for the public’s help in finding a man who used a fake ID to steal a bank draft for more than $80,000 last July from a Steinbach bank.

Police say the man then drove to Winnipeg and purchased that same dollar amount in gold from a local business.

RCMP are looking for help to find the man. He is described as having brown hair and a beard, with blue jeans and a yellow reflective t-shirt and a ball cap.
