Police seek assistance identifying 3 men
Toronto: Police is seeking your assistance in identifying three men believed to be involved in pizza delivery fraud.
Since mid-July Toronto Police, as well as neighbouring Police Services in the GTA, have been receiving reports of incidents in which debit cards have been compromised by persons posing as pizza delivery drivers.
It is reported that pizza orders, which were placed for delivery, were intercepted by a group of at least three male suspects, who would then deliver the intercepted pizza to the intended customers, said the police.
The customers would, in turn pay using their debit card to the hand held debit device, which was presented to them.
During the transaction, the card of the unsuspecting customer would be compromised, and the suspects would switch the debit card with a similar looking non-active card.
The suspect would leave the home, attend a nearby automatic banking machine, and conduct fraudulent banking transactions.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7300.
