West Shore RCMP are warning businesses of a male suspect who they hope the public can help identify following multiple fraud crimes.
Police say they are investigating three separate reports of fraud at West Shore businesses between Nov. 11 to 26.
In those cases, the suspect pays the cashier with a $50 bill and when the change is given back, he then makes several requests for different denominations.
Police say after several minutes of confusing the cashiers by handing the money back and forth, the suspect ends up leaving with more money than he is owed.
The suspect is described by police as a lighter-complexion male, believed to be 30 to 40 years old with a medium build.
He was wearing a black baseball cap, sweater, pants and shoes.
West Shore RCMP says it is aware of Victoria Police also investigating a similar fraud.
If you can identify the suspect, you are asked to call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
