Saanich Police are seeking the public’s help to identify suspects involved in a fraud that resulted in more than $10,000 in unauthorized purchases and withdrawals.

The victim received several phone calls from individuals claiming to be from their bank and warning of a security breach. During these calls, the suspects obtained the victim’s banking and phone information, allowing them to disable the victim’s SIM card.

The suspect who met with the victim is described as:

• South Asian male
• Thin build
• Short brown hair
• Severe acne
• Wearing a white T‑shirt
• Driving a white, newer‑model Toyota Camry

After obtaining the cards, the suspects made over $10,000 in purchases and cash withdrawals.

CCTV footage also captured a second suspect, described as:

• Black male
• Wearing a red baseball cap
• Medical mask
• Light blue sweatshirt
• Black T‑shirt
