(RENFREW, ON) – The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is seeking assistance in identifying a female involved in several fraud investigations.
On September 21 a female entered the Home Hardware store in Arnprior. She removed an item from a store shelf then proceeded to the customer service counter where she explained she wanted to return the item but no longer had her receipt. She was provided with a cash refund and left the area driving a two tone SUV, possibly a Buick Rendezvous. The female is described as approx. 60-years-old, with blond or brownish coloured hair, wearing glasses and gold jewelry, and a pink zip up hoody.
The same female successfully committed a similar fraud at Home Hardware in Renfrew on November 21. It is believed other stores may also be victims of her fraudulent scheme.
