MERCHANTS BEWARE

Fake travellers’ cheques passed

NORTH SHORE merchants
are being asked ta keep their
eyes open for counterfeit
travellers’ cheques.

North Vancouver RCMP
have received numerous
complaints in recent weeks
from local merchants about
fraudulent travellers’ che-
ques.

Cst. Alison Irons said the
most recent incident involves
a male who purchased a

sweater using a $50 Bank of
America travellers’ cheque.

The cheque was later con-
firmed by the merchants
own bank to be false, Lrons
said.

The male, described as
6'F'', about 30 years old,
slim, tanned, with dark
brown hair, is believed to be
responsible for similar
frauds recently in’ North
Vancouver.

He is often accompanied
by a female in her late 20's
with shoulder length brown
hair and an accent, Irons
said.

The couple is known to
wear press passes to divert
attention from their ap-
pearance.

Irons said it may be the
same couple who were
reported in the News several
months ago as stealing credit

cards from
smali businesses.

Police are advising area
merchants to be suspicious of
persons fitting the description
who attempt to pay for goods
with travellers’ cheques.

The cheques are in U.S.
dollars, are of poor quality
and bear false or no serial
numbers.

RCMP continue to inves-
tigate.
