A man and woman have been arrested and charged with fraud after police allege more than $650,000 was transferred out of the accounts of a soccer club in Ajax. Durham Regional Police say officers began investigating in December 2024 after receiving reports of “irregularities” in banking transactions involving Ajax Soccer Club. Police say a review of financial statements over several years found that more than $650,000 in club funds was transferred to various accounts between early 2023 and 2024. Police say both accused were employed by the club as the executive director and the general manager. Vicki Scott, 50, of Whitby, and Richard Karikari, 47, of Ajax, have both been charged with fraud over $5,000 and possession of proceeds of crime and breach of trust. The allegations have not been proven in court. Both were released on an undertaking.
