New West con artist

New Westminster police are asking for help identifying a man they call a “prolific con artist.”

Last week, the man befriended an elderly woman by pretending to be her son.

He then followed her home and allegedly stole 240-dollars cash from her wallet.

Police believe the same man is responsible for a similar incident last January — in which a senior was bilked of nearly 16-hundred dollars.
