Windsor police have continued the search for suspects in an alleged scam that has cost victims thousands of dollars.
Three victims told investigators that a young woman approached them in a parking lot, saying that she needed help paying for a delivery. The suspect said she had only cash but needed a debit card.
In a video posted to X on Friday, Windsor Police Constable Bianca Jackson described what happened next in each case.
"Once she [the suspect] finds somebody willing to use their debit card, the pair will approach a person posing as a delivery driver," said Jackson. "The victim then enters their debit card into a machine and enters their PIN. Once the transaction is complete, the delivery driver then switches the victim's card with a card that looks that looks very similar to theirs."

The card was then used to make fraudulent purchases. The three victims reportedly losing a total of $4,000, but police believe there may be more victims.

The second suspect is described as a Black female, 20 to 25 years old.
Anyone who can identify either suspect, or who may have been a victim of this scam, should immediately call Windsor police's Financial Crimes Unit at (519) 255-6700, extension 4330.
