  • Be on lookout for car thief

Kelowna R-C-M-P are asking residents to be on the lookout for a man suspected of trying to defraud multiple car dealerships.

Police say a dealership recently reported that the suspect had produced four driver's licences showing different names with the same identification photo.

They say the man has been linked to a number of other fraud attempts at dealerships in Kelowna and other jurisdictions dating back to 2022.

Investigators say he's a person of interest in several fraud cases in both the Kelowna and Castlegar areas.
