London woman charged in $30K fraud

A London woman has been charged in a pair of fraud investigations launched over two years ago.

According to investigators, the probe was opened in 2021. During that time a woman working at a south-end business allegedly made 262 fraudulent deposits to her personal bank accounts, totaling around $30,000.

The following year, while working as a Personal Support Worker (PSW), she is said to have defrauded a client of $1,300.

Through the investigation, police determined the accused was responsible for both frauds.

As a result, a 40-year-old London woman was charged Wednesday evening with fraud over $5,000 and fraud under $5,000.

The accused is expected to appear in court on August 10.
