Police are appealing to the public for help identifying two people suspected of fraud in High River.
According to a press release from High River RCMP, an unknown individual fraudulently placed an online order totalling thousands of dollars at a business in High River in September.
In a phone interview, RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Shawn French said the alleged fraudsters appeared to have used the account information for a company in the area to purchase over $2,000 in goods online from the UFA.
The man and woman who police are hoping to identify went to the business on Sept. 29 where they took possession of the property.
Police believe that the suspects are not affiliated with the company in question, but may have had account information that allowed the order to be placed.
"In this current pandemic, everybody is struggling. For the company that's out the money, every little bit counts."
