Warrant issued for man wanted in $130,000 financial fraud case
Windsor police have issued an arrest warrant for a 27-year-old man wanted related to a $130,000 financial fraud at a currency exchange business.
The Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit launched an investigation in June 2025 after receiving a report of a large-scale fraud at a business in the 3200 block of Dougall Avenue.
Officers learned that the male suspect entered the business and used a fraudulent Canadian passport to transfer approximately $138,000 CAD in exchange for $100,000 USD. After obtaining the U.S. currency, the suspect allegedly cancelled the Canadian transfer, resulting in a loss of roughly $130,000 to the business.
Investigators have since identified the suspect as Kamryn Alexander Bateman of Burlington, Ont.
Bateman is wanted on the following charges:
Fraud over $5,000
Obtaining funds by a false pretense over $5,000
Uttering a forged passport
Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000
Possession of an identification document of another
