West Kelowna RCMP are asking the public to identify a man they believe is responsible for fraudulently taking thousands of dollars from cash loan businesses across the Central Okanagan.
Police said they found out last month that in late December and early January, the man gave false names and stolen personal identification to more than one money-lending business.
RCMP said the suspect made off with approximately $10,000.
