False name/stolen credit cards land Manitoba man in Kenora jail

A traffic stop near Kenora resulted in the arrest of a man wanted by authorities elsewhere in Canada.

Provincial Police say they pulled over a vehicle after officers observed a traffic infraction.

When officers spoke with the driver, he was unable to provide a driver’s license and then gave a false name and date of birth.

He was arrested on a charge of obstruction.

A subsequent search turned up several credit cards that had been reported lost or stolen.

Two different driver’s licenses with the driver’s photo and different names were also discovered.

A further investigation revealed the 19-year-old man from Manitoba had outstanding warrants for property crimes in Barrie and Alberta, and an immigration warrant by Canada Border Services.

He was being held in custody pending a court appearance.
