Fraud Arrest

A 38-year-old Brampton woman is facing a fraud charge in connection with an incident reported last fall.

On October 18, 2024, officers with the Fraud Unit received an online report from a Peterborough business about suspicious activity around their accounts. Officers learned that several invoice payments were being deposited into the account of a person unknown to the business and that the account was with a different banking institution than the business used. Through investigation a suspect was identified. On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the woman attended the Peterborough Police station and was taken into custody.

She was charged with:

• Fraud Under $5000

The accused was released on an appearance notice and is scheduled to appear in court March 11, 2025.
