A police press release said the three accused arrived in Ottawa from Montreal on July 5, where they attempted to open bank accounts using forged government identification. On July 6, employees at a TD Bank in the west end contacted the police due to suspicious activity.
The release said officers investigated and all three were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, along with several other related charges.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and its Quebec equivalent have launched an investigation after a data breach at Desjardins Group that affected nearly three million members. The probes will examine whether Desjardins was in compliance with federal and provincial laws around personal information protection.
