“Police believe that the suspect is in possession of multiple stolen identity documents and that some victims may be unaware their information has been compromised. We encourage the public to routinely monitor their credit score, which will list accounts and loans opened in their name, and to report any discrepancies,” Cpl. Kyobela said.

Police would like to remind the public to safeguard their personal and financial information.

“If you receive calls from collection agencies about unfamiliar accounts, or if you applied for credit and were unexpectedly turned down, you are encouraged to contact the two national credit bureaus and place a fraud alert on your credit reports,” Corporal Kyobela said.

The phone numbers for the two credit agencies are listed below:

• Equifax Canada: Toll free at 1 800 465-7166
• TransUnion Canada: Toll free at 1 877 525-3823
