Mounties in Saskatchewan believe a man wanted in relation to a three-year-old fraud investigation is in Alberta, and a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest.

In December of 2016, the Yorkton RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) initiated a fraud investigation into the development of a large retail clothing store on Broadway Avenue in Yorkton, SK.

Police say that a general contractor company from Calgary, named GNRL Construction, won a bid to renovate a clothing store. Several other local companies were then subcontracted to complete the project.

During the course of the investigation, RCMP say it was determined that GNRL Construction fraudulently failed to pay the subcontractors for the work completed.
