A 49-year-old M’Chigeeng First Nation man faces a fraud charge after Ontario Provincial Police say a business on Manitoulin Island paid about $61,000 for shipping containers that were never delivered. OPP received a complaint from the business in the Township of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands on Feb. 18. Investigation leads to July arrest Police said the complainant reported paying the full amount for shipping containers but never receiving the goods, prompting the Manitoulin OPP detachment to open an investigation. “As a result of the investigation, one person was arrested on July 31,” OPP said in a news release on Aug. 10. Police said as a result of the investigation, the man has been charged with fraud over $5,000. The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Gore Bay on Aug. 25.
