Mounties northeast of Calgary say they’ve identified a suspect who allegedly tried to cash a cheque with fake identification late last year.

The identification comes after an appeal to the public.

RCMP say they began investigating after a woman went into an ATB bank branch in the town of Three Hills and tried to deposit a cheque.

It is alleged the woman gave the teller a fake driver’s license that had an account holders name. The teller determined the license was fake and did not allow the cheque to be cashed.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact police at 403-443-5539, or submit tips to CrimeStoppers anonymously.
