Arrest made in $405K fraudulent loan case

Windsor police have arrested a 50-year-old man in a fraud case dating back almost two years.

The Financial Crimes Unit had been looking into a December 2022 incident in which the suspect allegedly applied for a business loan using forged documents.

Police say the statements showed an account balance inflated by over $150,000. The documentation was used to obtain a $405,000 loan.

The suspect was arrested Friday at a business on Tecumseh Road East off Rose-Ville Garden Drive.

He is charged with fraud over $5,000, obtaining more than $5,000 by false pretenses, forgery, using a forged document, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

The charges have not been proven in court.
