Windsor police say they now know the identity of a woman suspected in a series of fraudulent bank transactions earlier this year.
Investigators in the Financial Crimes Unit said two people had artificially inflated a synthetically created bank account and then aggressively withdrew the falsified balance through an ATM.
A 42-year-old man was arrested in late October in Niagara Falls and faces multiple fraud charges.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for China Jade Lam of Markham. She is facing charges of fraud over $5,000, obtaining by false pretenses over $5,000, using a forged document, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
These fraudulent transactions occurred between January 31 and February 5, 2024, totaling $64,537.24.
Lam is described as an Asian female with a slender build, long dark hair, and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on Lam's whereabouts should call the Windsor police's Financial Crimes Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4330. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
