\nRoger Laroche was convicted for fraud in Laval court, Jan 25, on five counts of defrauding elderly homeowners.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would approach homeowners and offer to wash the windows in their house,\u201d Sgt. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Jean told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cHe would ask for a one-time advance payment and wash the windows summarily, then depart, never to return,\u201d he recounted. \u201cIn each case, the elderly victims paid $300-$500 per house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sgt. Jean noted that Laroche was previously convicted for the same type of crime in Laval. <\/p>\n

Now that Laroche is in jail, following his latest conviction, police are asking for other victims to come forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that there are a lot of other victims,\u201d Sgt. Jean explained, \u201cand we expect that when they come forward, we will be able to solve the cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLaroche could be charged with these other crimes,\u201d he continued, \u201cwhich could affect how long he must remain in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sgt. Jean stressed that the Laval police have made this string of crimes a priority, because of the vulnerable nature of Laroche\u2019s victims. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\u201cThe population of Laval has boomed by at least 100,000 during the past decade\u2014and it is getting older,\u201d he emphasized. \u201cThese people are on a fixed income and are often easy prey because they are trusting and, after they are victimized, there is often no obvious way for them to recoup their loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want elderly people to refrain from coming forward because they think that the police won\u2019t solve the crime,\u201d Sgt. Jean added. \u201cWe\u2019re looking into this, investigating and trying to make things right for them. We take these crimes very seriously and do our utmost to solve them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sgt. Jean asked anyone who might have been victimized by this sort of fraud to call the Laval police confidential tip line without delay at [450] 662-4636. <\/p><\/div>\n
