Suspects in Brampton fraud investigation impersonated officers: police
Peel police have released this image of a suspect vehicle wanted in connection with a fraud investigation in Brampton. (Peel Regional Police handout) Peel police say they are searching for two suspects who impersonated police officers and stole thousands of dollars from a victim in Brampton earlier this month. According to police, on Aug. 9, a victim provided personal information to the suspects after receiving a spam text. Later that night, the victim was contacted by a male who purported to be an undercover Toronto police officer. That suspect, police said, told the victim that there had been fraudulent activity on their account. A short time later, two suspects in a black SUV attended the victim's home in the area of Finegan Circle. 'The victim provided the suspects with their bank cards and subsequently had $15,000 taken from her account after they left,' police said in a news release issued Friday. 'The suspects did not provide any police identification to the victim.' One suspect was described by police as a South Asian male between the ages of 36 and 38 who had short, black hair, a heavy build, and was wearing a checkered dress shirt. A detailed description was not provided for the other suspect. The suspect vehicle was a new, black, four-door Mitsubishi SUV, police said. 'Inside the vehicle was a working computer situated between the driver and passenger seat with a police sticker attached,' the news release read. Police said anyone with information about the case can contact investigators at the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau by calling 905-453-2121 extension 2233.

(CPS handout) Calgary police are looking to the public for help finding a missing man last seen in the community of Highland Park in June. Police say Michal, 44, who goes by Mike, was last seen leaving the Shell gas station at the intersection of McKnight Boulevard and Centre Street North on Monday, June 2. 'Although there is nothing to indicate foul play is involved, police and Michal's family are concerned for his well-being,' said a Thursday news release. Michal is described as 5'4' tall (163 cm) and 160 pounds (73 kg), with short brown hair, brown facial hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red Toronto Raptors baseball hat, a purple, black and white Toronto Raptors hoodie, beige Carhartt pants and red and black sneakers. He is known to frequent the Calgary Transit system and speaks with a Polish accent. Anyone who knows of Michal's whereabouts is asked to call police at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers. NOTE: The Calgary Police Service announced last year it would no longer be sharing the last names of those who are reported missing – or sharing details of whether any of those individuals are located deceased – as a standard practice moving forward.
