Three suspects in Windsor fraud investigation arrested

Windsor police have arrested three people after an investigation into bank card fraud.

Investigators with the Financial Crimes Unit said they began looking into the situation earlier this summer.

Between July 23 and 29, four people allegedly used a debit card belonging to a deceased person to withdraw money, make purchases, and make fraudulent cheque deposits. The total amount in question was $19,215.

Police studied surveillance camera footage from banks across Windsor and identified the individuals.

A 31-year-old woman, a 40-year-old woman, and a 43-year-old man were sought by Windsor police and have now been arrested.

They are each charged with fraud over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an offence, use of a stolen bank card, and unauthorized use of credit card data.

The 43-year-old also faces two counts of using a forged document and one count of possessing stolen property.

Last week, a 47-year-old man was arrested and charged with fraud over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an offence, use of a stolen bank card, unauthorized use of credit card data, and using a forged document.

The charges have not been proven in court.
