Clovis Police Seek Public Help Identifying Suspect in $4,500 Identity Fraud Scheme

Clovis Police Department released a photo and on March 5 asked the public to help identify a suspect wanted in a felony identity-fraud case involving more than $4,500 in fraudulent transactions that occurred in October 2025. The department gave investigators three tip channels: Valley Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-STOP, the Clovis Police Crime Tip Line at (559) 324-2459, and the free Clovis Police mobile app, and cited case number 25-76883 for any reports.

"The Clovis Police Department is searching for a wanted suspect in connection with a felony fraud case involving more than $4,500 in fraudulent transactions," the department said in its public appeal. Authorities describe the activity as felony-level fraud after what investigators say were several unauthorized transactions using a victim's personal information during October 2025.

Clovis investigators say the scheme involved misuse of a victim’s personal information to carry out multiple fraudulent transactions in October 2025, and the department is treating the matter as an identity-fraud investigation that rises to felony charges. The public notice did not list a suspect name or provide a detailed physical description beyond a photo released by the department.

Local reporting has used differing language: some outlets referred to the subject as a "Clovis man," while the department's public appeal and the reporting summarized it as an unidentified suspect and included a photo credited to the Clovis Police Department. No arrest has been reported and no court filings or warrant text were published in the department’s appeal as made public March 5.

Anyone with information about the suspect’s identity or current whereabouts is asked to contact authorities through the listed channels. Valley Crime Stoppers accepts anonymous tips at (559) 498-STOP, the Clovis Police Crime Tip Line can be reached directly at (559) 324-2459, and tips may be submitted through the free Clovis Police mobile app; callers are asked to reference case number 25-76883 when reporting information.

Clovis Police continue to pursue leads in the October 2025 fraud and are asking neighbors across Clovis to review the released image and report any relevant information. The department emphasized that tips can be anonymous and that any information tied to case 25-76883 could aid investigators working to identify and locate the person responsible for the more than $4,500 in fraudulent transactions.
