Police in Port Moody say they’ve seized hundreds of pieces of identification, stolen mail, stolen licence plates and devices used to make fake I-Ds.
The department says they are recommending numerous fraud-related charges against a man they arrested last week.
It started back in July when police were called to a report of a mail theft, and officers pulled over a stolen vehicle linked to the theft about a month later.

Police say they obtained a warrant to search the suspect's home last week and he’s since been released from custody while the B-C Prosecution Service mulls the recommended charges.
