North Bay Police are looking for a suspect in connection with a break in on September 12th at a business on Memorial Drive.

Police say the suspect (photos submitted below) was wearing a light colored coat and pants, a dark colored hat and was carrying a darker colored backpack.

A quantity of cash was taken in the break-in.

 

 

In a separate incident, North Bay Police say fraudsters are targeting the business community.

Police say someone last month placed an order for a product from a business in North Bay.

The business accepted the credit card information which was processed and the material ordered was shipped to an address in southern Ontario.

Police say subsequent to the purchase the credit card holder identified that their credit information had been compromised and disputed the charge with the credit card company in early September.
This resulted in a charge-back and the business had to reimburse the purchase amount.

The financial loss to the business was just over $ 5,000.

Police want to remind businesses that accepting orders like this without the credit card and the cardholder present makes you susceptible to becoming a victim.

They say it’s good reminder to check your credit card statements on a regular basis to ensure you have authorized all purchases.
