WOMAN ARRESTED IN FAKE LAFRENIÈRE HOCKEY CARD CASE

Quebec City police have arrested a 54-yearold woman in connection with the case of fake Alexis Lafrenière hockey cards circulating online. Last December, organizers of the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament warned of fake cards of Lafrenière from 2013 emblazoned with the tournament logo for sale on websites. Organizers had said they came across the fake cards selling for $100 on eBay. Police said Friday they arrested the suspect on Feb. 24 and that they seized many hockey cards and digital hardware following a search in connection with the investigation, which they said is ongoing. They say it will be up to prosecutors to decide on charges. The New York Rangers selected Lafrenière, pictured, as the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NHL draft.
