On Friday, March 24, 2017, the Toronto Police Service made the public aware of an ongoing debit-card fraud investigation that is not specific to one taxi company.

The operator returns a different debit card from the same financial institution. The operator is then in possession of the passenger's debit card and the corresponding PIN.

The operator's position in a taxi, particularly at night in low light, provides ample opportunity to manipulate cards out of the passenger's sight.

Police are seeking the public's assistance identifying a man wanted in a debit-card fraud investigation. Security camera images of him have been released.

Police would like to warn the public to be vigilant with their debit cards/PIN information at all times.
