Lake Cowichan RCMP is investigating multiple instances of fraud outside the recent Nickelback concert at Laketown Ranch.

The fraud involved the sale of fake wristbands to unsuspecting victims at the concert. 

Investigators believe multiple patrons were defrauded after purchasing entry wristbands from a man which were later discovered to be fake. 

With the assistance of event security, a suspect was identified, taken into custody and released with a future court date. 

While some fraud victims have come forward, the Lake Cowichan RCMP believe there are additional victims who have not been yet identified. 

Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have information related to this investigation, and are asking the public to come forward by calling the Lake Cowichan RCMP at 250-749-6668
