  • Identity fraud operation uncovered in New West

Police in New Westminster say officers may have uncovered an identity-fraud operation during an unrelated call to an Uptown home.

Police say officers were called to the residence on September 11th, then discovered items believed to be linked to identity fraud.

Officers returned with a warrant and recovered about eight-thousand pieces of stolen mail, 15-hundred stolen or fraudulent bank cards, 50 passports as well as a firearm with ammunition and three imitations.

Police say they are working to return the stolen documents to their owners while charges in the case are pending.
