A woman that defrauded an elderly couple she was providing in-home care to out of nearly $100,000 has been arrested according to Guelph Police. The investigation began in January after the couple’s daughter discovered dozens of unauthorized cheques that had been made out to the support worker and deposited into her account. “Some cheques were deposited months after they were made out, including some deposited after the couple had started paying the worker via e-transfer,” police said in a media release. A 31-year-old Fergus woman turned herself in to police Wednesday, who was then charged with 45 counts of fraud under $5,000.
