NEWS RELEASE
BARRIE POLICE SERVICE
*************************
The Barrie Police Service is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying two female suspects who attended a south-end Barrie business to receive cosmetic treatments and also purchased some skin-care products.
Although no credit card was used, the credit card number provided at the time of this incident was determined to be fraudulent.
From the ongoing investigation, which is being conducted by the Barrie Police Investigative Services since mid-June, detectives have obtained photographs of the suspects from the victim of this fraudulent activity.
A number of attempts to identify the suspects have been made, but it would appear that the personal information that they provided, prior to the treatments being made was also false.
Anyone with information on this theft is asked to contact Detective Constable Mellish of the Barrie Police Service at 705-725-7025, ext. 2634 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or leave an anonymous tip online at www.p3tips.com.
