RCMP have dropped charges against a young man who, it turns out, has been the victim of identify theft.
Late in the summer of this year, North Battleford RCMP had advised the public of a male wanted for failing to appear in court in response to a shoplifting charge stemming from an incident on July 31.
Tesler Mosquito, 22, was originally reported as being the subject of the warrant. It has now been confirmed the Tesler Mosquito was not involved in the matter, and had in fact been the victim of an identity fraud.
Further investigation has shown the person responsible for the initial incident to be Tyson Mosquito, 23, of North Battleford, who is currently wanted on charges of theft under $5,000, obstruction, identity fraud and two counts of failing to comply with probation.
All charges against Tesler Mosquito have been withdrawn.
