Belleville police arrested two men from Quebec on Wednesday, February 5, following an alleged attempt to defraud a local car dealership.
According to authorities, the investigation began on Monday, February 3, when employees at the dealership became suspicious of a customer attempting to purchase a vehicle over the phone. The individual reportedly provided what was believed to be fraudulent identification and banking information (Belleville Police Service, 2025).
Members of the Belleville Police Criminal Investigative Division pursued the case, and on Wednesday afternoon, officers were present when two suspects arrived at the dealership in person to complete the purchase. The suspects were taken into custody without incident (Belleville Police Service, 2025).
A 61-year-old male and a 31-year-old male, both from Quebec, have been charged with fraud over $5,000, identity theft, personation, and uttering forged documents. Both remain in custody pending a bail hearing (Belleville Police Service, 2025).
Authorities have not released the names of the accused, and the investigation remains ongoing.
