Regional Police are investigating a series of frauds targeting car dealers in HRM over the past week.
They say a man will go into the dealership, negotiate the purchase of a vehicle, and transfer the money to the dealer’s account.
The dealer then finds out a few days later that the money has been transferred fraudulently.
Police say the man deposits fraudulent cheques in his own bank accounts before transferring the fake money to the car dealers.
The suspect is described as white, in his 50s, 6 feet 1 inches, 300 pounds with a thin moustache and dark hair.
