Guelph police say a woman accused of defrauding a local social service agency of more than $31,000 has turned herself in.
In a news release, police said an investigation got underway after the agency contacted the fraud unit earlier this week to file a complaint.
A police spokesperson confirmed to Global News that the suspect was a client of the agency and the fraud related to an alleged payment for which she was not eligible.
