An employee is facing charges after she allegedly used forged invoices and receipts to steal about $95,000.
The Winnipeg Police Service was contacted about an incident of fraud at a business on the 900 block of Powell Avenue in April 2024, and the financial crime unit began a lengthy investigation.
The WPS said Thursday that the employee “used her position to financially enrich herself” by depositing stolen funds into her personal bank account between May 2023 and April 2024.
The 47-year-old woman turned herself in to police Wednesday. She is facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and using a forged document, and was released on an undertaking.
