In surveillance images provided by Windsor police, he is frequently seen with the lower portion of his face covered by a scarf or mask.

He is wanted for fraud over $5,000, identity fraud, identity theft, possession of a stolen credit card, improper use of credit card data, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
