A woman from Brampton is facing almost 80 charges related to illegal behavior in Guelph and several other cities in Ontario.
From May to June 2022, a man and a woman are believed to have visited TD Canada branches throughout southern Ontario, according to the police.
They were accompanied by one or more young children when allegedly opening bank accounts using fake identities and presenting fraudulent cheques from a well-known employer.
According to investigators, the pair would claim they urgently needed cash to feed their children, often leading the teller to waive the holding period.
They would deposit the cheques at ATMs and withdraw as much money as possible.
Police stated that TD experienced a loss of over $55,000.
A 25-year-old woman was apprehended by authorities in another city on Thursday and brought back to Guelph.
A 26-year-old man, also from Brampton, is facing similar charges and surrendered himself in December.
