A man police believe used a fake name to register a vehicle is in custody facing a litany of charges, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Raymond Calkin, 41, is described as a prolific offender and was arrested and charged last week with personation, possessing break and enter tools, possessing stolen mail, possessing a counterfeit postal key, possessing a controlled substance and three counts of breaching probation. The charges stem from an investigation that began Jan. 13 when a vehicle was seized and found to contain stolen mail and mail keys. Police said investigators quickly determined that the suspect had impersonated someone else in order to fraudulently register the vehicle. Coquitlam RCMP credited the general duty and fraud officers along with the prolific target team for nabbing the suspect. "We really depend on our crime analysts to make the link between prolific offenders and their preferred criminal activities," Sgt. Steve Reinhard, head of the prolific target team, said in a press release. "That way we can focus on the individuals who cause most crime and disorder in the communities we serve." Calkin is expected to be back in front of a judge March 2 for an interim release hearing.
