Stratford man facing more fraud charges

Stratford Police have filed more fraud charges against a former local business owner.

Kevin Larson, who was hit with over a dozen chares almost one year ago, is now facing an additional 10 counts of fraud over $5,000 and 21 counts of fraud under $5,000.

Police say this investigation was launched after complaints against Larson in May 2023.

The 37-year-old was arrested on Thursday at the Stratford Police headquarters. He was issued an undertaking with a court date next month.

He is also set to be sentenced next month on fraud charges that were laid in April 2023.
