A man is facing charges in Lennox and Addington County, Ont., for allegedly lying to OPP about a significant financial fraud.
In early January, a man reported losing around $5 million after contributing to an investment firm, Lennox and Addington OPP say.
Police say the man reported that the money had “disappeared without a trace.”
After a lengthy investigation, OPP charged the man who reported the alleged fraud, Stuart Ian McLeod, a 73-year-old from Stouffville, Ont., with making a false statement, forging and using a forged document, and public mischief.
