Calgary police have released security video images of four suspects in a nationwide bitcoin fraud.

Police say they have received information that about 112 fraudulent transactions were made at bitcoin kiosks in cities including Calgary, Sherwood Park, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal between last September 16th and 26th.

The transactions all targeted a Canadian bitcoin company that police are not identifying and resulted in a loss of 195-thousand dollars.

Just under half of the transactions occurred in Calgary.
