A 47-year-old man is facing 19 fraud- and impersonation-related charges stemming from a multi-jurisdictional police investigation.
Kingston police say they learned about a potential vehicle fraud earlier this month when a man reportedly made two separate online applications to purchase high-end SUVs at two local dealerships.
The suspect reportedly provided copies of forged identification to the two dealerships.
