UPDATE: Lethbridge Police officials say they have identified the man in the previously released photo and the investigation is ongoing.

The LPS says in November 2024, a man reportedly scammed a local bank after he opened an account, deposited a fraudulent cheque and later took out the funds. 

Police say illegal activity involving the account happened in both Lethbridge and Calgary. LPS notes the investigation found the suspect could have ties to the Vancouver area, too.
