Business Scammed Out of $210,00 Over 3 Years Before Noticing #CrimeDoesPay

(COLLINGWOOD, ON) – 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 39-year-old Sarah GRAY 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.
