A 72-year-old man from Vancouver, B.C. is facing fraud charges following a nearly eight month investigation by Strathroy-Caradoc police.
Police launched their probe at the request of the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc in April.
With the assistance of the Vancouver Police Department's financial crimes unit, Strathroy police searched a home in the city of Vancouver last Wednesday.
Yiu Sun Wong was arrested as a result of the investigation. He is charged with fraud over $5,000 and fraudulent concealment. Wong was returned to Strathroy on Friday where he was remanded into custody. He is scheduled to appear at a bail hearing in London on Monday.
No other details about the alleged fraudulent activities or the investigation have been released.
