An Alberta man is facing numerous charges in Ontario over the allegedly fraudulent purchase of a new car.
Niagara Regional Police say they began an investigation last month when a luxury vehicle worth more than $120,000 was bought using fake identification.
The force says it has also been in touch with provincial police and officers in Waterloo Region, who are looking into similar incidents.
