Toronto police have released photos of a suspect who allegedly impersonated customers at wireless stores and banks in order to steal from them.

Police said the incidents occurred between June 2022 and November of this year.

According to investigators, the suspect attended wireless cell phones stores, impersonating account holders using fake ID. Police said the suspect would then open up a new line with a new phone under the existing account holder.
