The court cases for three people in a fraud investigation have wrapped up quickly, while proceedings will carry on for a fourth.
On February 4, 2025, the Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) charged five people in connection to alleged identity fraud and the forging of documents.
That followed an investigation that started in the fall of 2023 when LPS said hundreds of forged identity documents were seized from a north Lethbridge home, along with equipment to manufacture IDs.
Police allege that multiple subjects attended financial institutions throughout the region and fraudulently opened bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and other accounts in the names of the identity theft victims.
