CALGARY, AB — A Calgary man is facing multiple identity theft and fraud charges following an investigation involving the Calgary Police Service and the Canada Border Services Agency.

Garrit Glen English-Schleiermacher, was arrested on December 29, 2018 and charged with multiple offences, including fraud over $5,000 and identity fraud. The investigation began in September 2018 after CBSA intercepted a shipment from China, which contained 3,066 counterfeit holographic stickers. The stickers, police allege, would be used on American and Canadian permanent resident cards. The file was passed to Calgary Police to investigate.

Police executed a search warrant on a storage locker in the 5000 block of 77 Avenue Southeast, where they found evidence of fraudulent identity document production. Police allege English-Schleiermacher allegedly created, and was living under false identities to avoid warrants for his arrest, and allege he was involved in the production of fraudulent identity documents using the counterfeit stickers.

In addition to the fraud charges, English-Schleiermacher was arrested on 21 outstanding warrants for unrelated offences.

Police released his photo on Thursday in an attempt to generate information from the public on additional identity theft and fraud offences he’s alleged to have committed. Anyone with information is asked to call Calgary Police or Crime Stoppers.
