Richard RUPERT is wanted by the Toronto Police Service on a Canada Wide Warrant for a number of frauds and robberies targeting senior citizens. Rupert is a suspect in a large number of occurrences spanning right across Canada.

RUPERT befriends senior citizens, convinces them he’s a nephew, a distant relative or in some cases a member of building management. He then asks for money, usually for car repairs. Rupert gets the victim to attend a bank with him where they withdraw a large amount of money and give it to him believing he intended to repay the money.

If you know of Rupert’s whereabouts or have any further information regarding him please contact your local police department or phone

Toronto Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS),
