Police say they’re looking to identify a man after several Durham Region residents paid deposits for snow removal but never had the work completed.

Durham Regional Police said between December and January, an unknown man went to the homes of three complainants in Pickering and Ajax.

The suspect claimed to do snow removal work under the company Snow Genie Inc. and collected down payments, police said.

After the deposits were collected, the victims were allegedly unable to make contact with the suspect or anyone associated with the company.
