In early March the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic/Crime Reduction Unit began an investigation into several Facebook and Kijiji scams in the Fort Saskatchewan area. As a result of the investigation, police located and arrested 22-year-old Taylor Spencer Berezowski at a residence in Edmonton. Berezowski, a former resident of Fort Saskatchewan, was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants for fraud related crimes out of Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton, and Vermillion.
After a Judicial release hearing, Berezowski was released from custody to appear in court on March 30, in Fort Saskatchewan, on March 31, in Edmonton and on April 17, in Vermillion.
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP continue to investigate several of these scams which involve the victim sending electronic payment for items such as snowmobile parts and not receiving the product. RCMP remind residents to avoid sending money to individuals until actually seeing the product.
The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP are looking for the public’s assistance in identifying any further victims to Berezowski’s crimes. A photo of Berezowski is being provided to assist with identifying victims. If anyone has any information regarding these crimes, please contact the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-997-7900.
