Windsor police are looking for a 27-year-old man who is wanted for suspected retail fraud.
Investigators allege the suspect entered a big-box store on Tecumseh Road East near Lauzon Parkway on Sunday, May 11 and used counterfeit $100 bills to pay for items. He then allegedly went to another big-box store on Sandwich Street South in Amherstburg and did it again.
A store employee realized the bills were phony and attempted to confront the suspect, who took off in a black Mercedes.
Officers from the Amherstburg detachment spotted the vehicle a short distance away. When the suspect saw the officers, he sped through a red light. The pursuit was stopped by police for public safety reasons.
A warrant has been issued for Jacob David Jubinville. He is described as a White male, 6’, 160 pounds, with a medium build, wavy brown hair, a full beard, blue eyes, and multiple tattoos, including two on his face.
The charges include two counts of fraud under $5,000, two counts of possession of counterfeit money, two counts of uttering counterfeit money, obtaining by false pretenses under $5,000, possession of stolen property, fleeing police, dangerous driving, and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.
