A B.C. woman is facing forgery and impersonation charges for allegedly using phony documents to apply for a nursing job in Victoria.
Ms. Talaue is accused of forging a marriage certificate, an Alberta health card, a Canadian citizenship certificate, and a name change affidavit. She has also been accused of fraudulently impersonating someone named Yves Anglehart with the “intent to gain advantage for herself,” police said.
Central Saanich Police Service launched its investigation in early October after being contacted by staff at Island Health where Ms. Talaue allegedly applied for a nursing position using “suspicious documents.”
“This person has never been and is not a registrant of BCCNM and is not entitled to practice as a registered nurse in British Columbia,” reads the advisory, which also warns health-care facilities that Ms. Talaue may be posing as a nurse to obtain work in hospitals.
Police said Ms. Talaue may also have applied for and worked in other health-care jobs in B.C. and Alberta under a variety of aliases, which include Charrybelle Perez Talaue, Charrybelle Talaue Baldesancho, Belle Talaue, Belle Marie, Charrybelle Baldesancho, Charie Talaue, Yves Anglehart, and Belle Yves Talaue Anglehart.
