Canada-wide Warrant Issued

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a man accused of defrauding at least 21 seniors.

Police are looking for Richard Earl Rupert who is wanted for robbery, break and enter, eight counts of fraud and six counts of theft.

Toronto police started their investigation last November after an 81-year-old woman was mugged.

Tips started rolling in and investigators have pieced together a trail of fraud that stretches from Toronto to St. Catharine's, Waterloo, London, Ottawa and Thunder Bay.
