One suspect arrested another sought in bank fraud investigation

An Ancaster resident was arrested and charged in connection to a $64,000 bank fraud at a Windsor bank.

The Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit started the investigation in September after the bank reported two suspects artificially inflated a synthetically created bank account and then withdrew the falsified balance through an ATM.

These fraudulent transactions, which occurred between January 31 and February 5, 2024, totaled $64,537.24.

The 42-year-old man was arrested in Niagara Falls by the Ontario Provincial Police. He is facing charges of fraud, using a forged document, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and possession of property obtained by crime.

Investigators are still trying to find the second suspect. She is described as an Asian woman approximately 30 to 40 years old, with a slender build, long dark hair, and brown eyes.

If you can identify this suspect, please contact the Financial Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4330.
