The Washoe County Sheriff's Office is looking for victims of a scam involving Nevada State Fair tickets.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Hershel Rosenbaum, 42, after he was in possession of more than $400 that allegedly came from selling tickets to an Aug. 26 free event at the fair. Detectives believe several dozen tickets were sold to accrue the amount of money in his possession, according to Undersheriff Mike Haley.

Potential victims are encouraged to contact the Washoe County Sheriff's Office at 911 Parr Boulevard in Reno and complete a statement regarding the details of their purchase.

Additional charges are pending following the completion of the investigation.
