Durham Regional Police (DRPS) is seeking the public’s help in locating Aaliyah Kamiria Abdalla, a 24-year-old woman from Oshawa, after her image was circulated through the Help Solve a Crime initiative. Abdalla is wanted in connection with multiple incidents of using counterfeit currency at businesses across Durham Region.
The fraudulent activities occurred in December 2025, when Abdalla used fake $100 bills at multiple Walmart stores in the area. The first incident took place on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at Walmart in Bowmanville, located at 2320 Durham Regional Highway 2. During this visit, Abdalla used four counterfeit $100 bills to make a purchase.
The very next day, the same woman visited another Walmart store in Oshawa, using the same counterfeit bills to purchase items. She then proceeded to the Walmart in Ajax where she returned the items bought earlier and received legitimate Canadian currency in exchange. This fraudulent behavior led to a thorough investigation by the police.
After gathering public tips and evidence, Durham Regional Police identified Aaliyah Kamiria Abdalla as the suspect. She now faces multiple charges, which include:
- Fraud Under $5000 (x2)
- Uttering Counterfeit Currency (x2)
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5000 (x2)
The police have now issued a warrant for Abdalla’s arrest in connection to the counterfeit currency scam. Investigators are urging the public to come forward if they have any information that could lead to her capture.
Anyone with knowledge of Abdalla’s whereabouts or any further details about the incidents is asked to contact D/Cst. Kane of the Financial Crimes Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5371.
For those who wish to remain anonymous, information can be provided to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca. Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards for tips that lead to an arrest or advancement in the case.
Aaliyah Kamiria Abdalla is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and these charges are yet to be proven in court. The public is encouraged to remain vigilant and help provide any information that can assist the authorities in bringing closure to this case.
The Help Solve a Crime program has been instrumental in allowing the public to contribute information that can help authorities solve various criminal cases, and the Durham Regional Police continue to thank those who take part in this process.
It is critical that the community continues to play an active role in preventing the circulation of counterfeit money and assisting in the identification of individuals involved in fraudulent activities. With the public’s help, Durham Region can continue to work toward making the area a safer place for everyone.
