A lengthy Quinte West OPP investigation has led to elder abuse charges for a man and woman from the southern Ontario municipality.
Police say the investigation began in late August 2021 after it was alleged that two people were taking advantage of an 86-year-old woman in order to sell off her assets for their own financial gain, without her permission.
The two were arrested on Jan. 13 at the conclusion of the investigation.
