Members of the Crime Unit from Collingwood and The Blue Mountains detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have now charged a person in relation to a fraud investigation at a business in Collingwood.
The investigation began in February 2023 when police received a complaint in regard to a former employee of a business who had altered payroll data so that funds could be deposited into their bank account.
It was found that over the course of approximately three years, over $210,000 was defrauded from this business but had only been discovered recently.
OPP have now charged a 39-year-old of Wasaga Beach with one count of Fraud Over $5000. The accused is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood on April 9, 2024.
