Norwich business scammed out of $360K

A 48-year-old Woodstock woman is facing charges after a business was swindled out of more than $360,000 over nearly four years.

Oxford OPP were called about the fraud by a Norwich business at the start of September.

Investigators determined several cheques from the business were cashed between January 2015 and September 2018, which resulted in more than $360,000 being removed from a financial account.

Police arrested a 48-year-old woman in relation to the incident on Wednesday. She is now charged with fraud over $5,000, making a forged document, using a forged document, and laundering proceeds of crime.

The woman is scheduled to appear in Woodstock court at a later date.
