A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a man wanted in an investigation into alleged mortgage frauds valued at more than $10 million, Toronto police say.
Multiple mortgage frauds have been reported to police and investigators said they believe a man was working with a female broker targeting law firms in the Chinese community.
The man allegedly pretended to be a legitimate homeowner by using fraudulent identification.
The man was previously identified with the help of the media and the public, police said.
On Tuesday, investigators announced that a Canada-wide warrant was issued for 23-year-old Toronto resident Yuansen Fu.
Fu is wanted for conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, fraud exceeding $5,000, and uttering forged documents.
