After receiving reports workers at a Windsor restaurant lost money in a scam, police arrested a 53-year-old woman.
The Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit launched the investigation a year ago after six people who worked with the suspect lost $77,700 in the scam.
The scam centred around a bogus house-flipping business in the U.S.
The victims invested between April 30, 2023, and January 2024 but never saw a dime.
Police arrested the woman after she surrendered at the Windsor Police headquarters on Monday. She's charged with fraud over $5,000.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information can call the Financial Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700 ext. 4330, Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477, or go to www.catchcrooks.com.
