Windsor police say they have arrested a woman suspected of stealing someone's identity.
Investigators from the Financial Crimes Unit began looking into a complaint about stolen property and identity fraud last month. Officers determined that a woman used someone else's identity to open numerous credit card accounts, which caused financial hardship and credit problems for the victim.
Following tips from the public, police identified the suspect as 22-year-old Ava Papadopulos. Authorities announced her arrest on Friday.
She is charged with fraud under $5,000, personation, obtaining identity information to commit an offence, obtaining credit via fraud, and using a credit card obtained via crime.
The charges have not been proven in court.
