Laval police seek fraud suspect after credit card theft

Laval police have posted a bank branch surveillance photo of a woman they suspect committed fraud using a stolen credit card.

Between March 27 and April 17, the victim of the fraud had ordered a credit card while he was travelling outside Quebec. Upon his return he discovered the new card was not among mail he received during that period. However, at the beginning of May, the victim nevertheless received a statement for the new card, indicating it had already been used to make two $500 cash withdrawals.

The victim, suspecting his mail had been stolen, filed a complaint with police, and a subsequent examination of the surveillance camera at the RBC branch in St-Eustache where the transactions occurred yielded the image of a woman who had apparently made one of the fraudulent withdrawals on April 20.
