Windsor police seek pair of fraud suspects

Windsor police are hoping someone can identify two people connected to a report of retail fraud earlier in January.

Investigators say a woman stole a purse that contained debit and credit cards from a shopping cart at a business in the Devonshire Mall area.

A man then used the stolen credit cards to make several fraudulent purchases at different businesses.

The female suspect is described as White, 45 to 50 years old, with a medium build. She was wearing a black winter hat, a grey and brown scarf, a black winter vest, and a grey sweater with black boots. She is wanted for theft under $5,000.

The man is described as White, 25 to 30 years old, with a medium build. He was wearing a black toque, a black jacket, black pants, and a blue medical mask. He spoke with a European accent. He is wanted for theft under $5,000, unauthorized use of a credit card, possession of stolen property, and use of a stolen credit card.

Police have released surveillance camera images of the suspects and have asked the public to take a look.

Anyone who can recognize the suspects, or provide additional information, should call Windsor police's Financial Crimes Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4330. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
