A Brampton man faces a number of charges after opening bank accounts in two separate false names Friday.
Police were called to the TD Canada Trust branch on Paisley Road after a customer opened an account using a Republic of Liberia passport. Staff were suspicious of the man and called police. The man left quickly but was stopped and arrested a short distance away. Investigation revealed he had opened another account earlier in the day at a different TD branch using a Republic of Malawi passport.
A search of the man’s vehicle revealed identification documents and banking cards in six different names.
A 29-year-old Brampton man faces several fraud-related charges. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court April 19.
