Fraudulent checks.

“These types of investigations can be extremely tedious and very detailed,” said Sgt. Jamie Belleville with Burnaby RCMP’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team. “I am very proud of our Prolific Offender Suppression Team for getting this investigation to this point.”

The file is now before the courts.
