WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. (CP) - Police in West Vancouver who were trying to make a positive identification on a con artist found a made in Canada solution - literally.
They checked for a tattoo on file for the man - a tattoo on his buttocks that reads Made in Canada. The 55-year-old Quebec man was wanted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant revoking his parole for fraud-related offences in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. He was arrested in West Vancouver for using fake cheques to buy pizzas.
Police said the man went by 22 different names and birthdates.
So, in order to make a positive identification, and with the co-operation of the suspect, police took a look at his buttocks for the tattoo.
He was in custody Thursday awaiting further charges and officials were preparing to return him to the Kingston Penitentiary in Ontario.
