Police said they began the lengthy investigation last April after being tipped off to possible fraud at the Powell Avenue business.

The suspect, 47, is alleged to have forged the invoices and deposited the funds into her personal bank account, beginning in spring 2023 and continuing to take place over close to a year.

On Wednesday, the suspect turned herself in without incident at the downtown police headquarters.

Police said she was released on an undertaking, but has been charged with fraud over $5,000 and using a forged document.
