Original story

 

The Greater Sudbury Police Service is on the look out for a Sudbury man believed to be involved in fraudulent bank transactions.

Police allege the 27-year-old man, along with another suspect, opened accounts at several banks in Greater Sudbury and deposited cheques into the newly opened accounts, from which the money was then withdrawn.

The cheques, police reported, were drawn from an account at a different bank belonging to one of the suspects. However, the account from which the cheques were written had been closed.

Consequently, an arrest warrant has been issued for Neil Lacelle, 27. He has been charged with Fraud under $5,000, conspiracy to commit a summary offence and breach of probation.

Lacelle is described as a male, 5-8 and 140 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Sudbury Rainbow Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to his arrest.

Crime Stoppers can be reached at 1-800-222-TIPS or locally at 705-222-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted online at sudburycrimestoppers.com or by texting “tipsud” and the information to “crimes” (274637).
