Nov 10, 2017 | 1:47 PM

Stettler RCMP are thanking members of the public for their help in identifying a suspect accused of trying to fraudulently obtain money from three TD Canada Trust branches in central Alberta in June.

The suspect has been identified as 51-year-old Andrew Christopher Nick, who is now facing five charges, including Fraud, False Pretences, Identity Fraud and other related offences.

The incidents took place in Stettler, Three Hills and Hanna where police allege a man with fraudulent ID tried to transfer $18,000 from a victim’s account to another, under the premise that it was to be used to help his daughter buy a vehicle.

Mounties say an arrest warrant has been issued for Nick, so anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Stettler RCMP at 403-742-3382 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
