They allege he reached out to Raptors fans through a Twitter account to get them to sign up for prime seating for the coming season.

He then added additional fees and taxes on top of the prices quoted and never delivered the tickets.

The teen, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested Saturday. He is charged with 11 counts of fraud under $5,000 and one count of possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

Police are concerned there could be more victims.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Constable Elliott Lee at 416-808-5179 or Crime Stoppers.
