This man is accused of conning a bank into issuing him someone else's bank card where he drained more than $35,000 from the unsuspecting account holder.

An alleged con man pocketed more than $35,000 after being issued someone else’s bank card at a local bank last December. Now Langley RCMP are trying to find him.

On Dec. 30, 2015, a man entered the Langley Bank of Montreal claiming to be the owner of a certain bank account. He told the teller he was visiting the area from Ontario, said police.

He was issued a new debit card and immediately withdrew $5,000 US dollars. The card was subsequently used at a number of different establishments and more than $30,000 was taken from the account, said police. Langley RCMP are hoping someone can identify this man, or have information about him that could lead to his arrest.
