A 44-year-old man is facing additional charges in connection with a fraud investigation involving the sale of used cars in Nova Scotia.
Police say Nicholas Eugene Croscup, originally from Lower Sackville, pretended to be a car dealership broker and falsely sold used vehicles between 2022 and 2024.
He allegedly offered fake financing plans, collected deposits via e-transfer and then cut off contact with prospective buyers.
Police say he pretended to be a dead Nova Scotian to conceal his identity while communicating with them.
He was arrested in Regina last summer on five outstanding arrest warrants related to previous fraud-related offences that reportedly happened between 2019 and 2021.
Police say they then executed a search warrant and obtained evidence to support new charges.
The following additional charges were laid against Croscup on July 31:
fraud over $5,000
fraud under $5,000 (nine counts)
identity theft (two counts)
possession of proceeds of crime
Croscup was released by the courts on the previous charges and remains on conditions.
He is due to appear in Shubenacadie provincial court on Oct. 20.
