A warning has been issued by Canadian police about a surge in home-invasion-style robberies targeting wealthy crypto investors.
According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)’s website, a warning has been issued by police in Richmond and Delta about this rising trend in the last year. To ensure the safety of citizens, the police issued a public warning to raise awareness.
The RCMP stated, “The suspects gain access to a victim’s home by posing as delivery people or persons of authority. Once let inside the home, the suspects rob the victims of information that gives access to their cryptocurrency accounts.”
RCMP advised the crypto users, “Keep your valuables and financial information in a safe location, like a safety deposit box at a financial institution.”
