Woman wanted in bank fraud case arrested

Windsor police say a woman suspected of a series of fraudulent bank transactions earlier this year has been arrested.

Investigators in the Financial Crimes Unit said two people had artificially inflated a synthetically created bank account and then aggressively withdrew the falsified balance through an ATM.

These fraudulent transactions occurred between January 31 and February 5, 2024, totaling $64,537.24.

A 42-year-old man was arrested in late October in Niagara Falls and faces multiple fraud charges.

Police announced on Wednesday afternoon that a woman was arrested in York Region. She is facing charges of fraud over $5,000, obtaining by false pretenses over $5,000, using a forged document, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

The charges have not been proven in court.
