A Calgary man faces 10 additional charges after police continue to chip away at the mountain of evidence they seized at a fake I.D. manufacturing lab.
Earlier this month, police used search warrants to look through four homes, two commercial units, a storage locker and four vehicles.
They came away with a significant number of fake licenses, passport photos and stolen identity profiles, as well as hundreds of phony credit cards.
New charges for 30-year-old Hamad Baloch include possessing fraudulent government I.D, forging and possessing fake credit cards, and unlawfully possessing identity information.
Sergeant Joel Matthews says more charges may be coming for both Baloch and his suspected associates.
He adds it’ll take a while to finish the investigation, partly because of the volume and complexity of evidence they’ve recovered.
New charges for the accused include possessing fraudulent government I.D, forging and possessing fake credit cards, and unlawfully possessing identity information.
There’s no word from police on the number of victims.
