On September 03, 2012 a male subject described as “Caucasian, 5’10”-5’11” Heavy set/muscular, blonde or light brown hair under a black and white baseball cap with lightning symbols on it, a white under shirt, black shorts to his knees, black and white flip flops and a white wrist band on his left wrist” attended a local business and attempted to make a significant purchase using a prepaid credit card.  When challenged by the store clerk the male attempted to use another credit card that was obviously fake.  The suspect subsequently left the store without being identified.  Between this event and police notification the male attended to an Osoyoos business and made a similar unsuccessful attempt.  Video images of the suspect are available and public assistance would be appreciated.
