The Hamilton Police Service Crimes Against Seniors Unit is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a fraud commonly known as the “Grandparent Scam.”
On March 30, 2026, an elderly victim received a phone call from an individual believed to be a grandchild claiming to have been arrested. The caller convinced the victim to withdraw a large sum of cash to post bail and instructed them not to tell anyone, claiming a “gag order” had been issued by a judge.
Later that same day, arrangements were made for a courier to attend the victim’s residence and collect the money.
Between approximately 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm, a male suspect attended the residence on foot, retrieved the cash, and was last seen walking eastbound on Beach Road toward Gage Avenue.
Police are now asking residents in the area to review their surveillance cameras and contact investigators if they recognize the individual in the attached images.
Suspect Description:
- Male, believed to be in his 30s
- Brown skin, medium build
- Dark hair and dark beard
- Wearing dark pants, dark long-sleeve sweater, and brown shoes with white soles
