A 32-year-old man is facing multiple fraud charges after police say he took money that wasn't his out of banks.
The Windsor police's financial crimes unit began an investigation in December 2022. According to Constable Bianca Jackson, the suspect used fraudulent identification to withdraw cash from several bank branches, totaling $33,028.
Days after that sum was withdrawn, the suspect tried to arrange a wire transfer of an additional $275,000. That money was reclaimed by the financial institution.
Police were able to confirm the suspect's identity through security cameras, with a suspected total of money obtained via fraud at $359,000.
The man was arrested Wednesday at a home on William Street in Tecumseh by members of the Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad.
He is now charged with fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, and laundering the proceeds of crime.
The charges have not been proven in court.
The investigation is ongoing.
