Canada: Two Brampton men charged in identity thefts

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Dissent

Tamara Baluja reports:

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.”

The RCMP seized long lists of people who were targeted for identity theft, including their personal information such as addresses, dates of birth and social insurance numbers.
