Two men have been arrested in a major identity theft case that spread across the country, says the RCMP.
The Mounties’ GTA Commercial Crime Section recovered “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of driver’s licences, credits cards, debit cards and cheques, said Inspector Art Pittman.
“It is one of our largest files. We have at least 50 victims, possibly even more over a fairly long period of time,” said Pittman. “One person lost over $60,000.”
