MEDICINE HAT, AB — A Medicine Hat man is facing fraud and stolen property charges following a six-week investigation by the Medicine Hat Police Service.

Charles Dale Glasier, 37, was arrested on Thursday. He has been charged with one count of fraud over $5,000 and one count of possession of stolen property over $5,000. Police say the alleged fraud and stolen property operation occurred throughout southern Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan, and more than $30,000 worth of property was seized.

Police say the items recovered largely consisted of DVD box sets and action figures obtained from big box retailers in Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is alleged Glasier obtained the items from the retailers by fraudulent means for a fraction of their retail price, with the intention of selling them for profit.

Glasier is currently in custody awaiting a bail hearing.
