Police arrest man after fraud investigation in Cambridge

Waterloo Regional Police have made an arrest in connection with an ongoing fraud investigation in Cambridge.

Back in March, police received a call from a financial institution on Hespeler Road.

Investigators say a man opened multiple accounts at banks and institutions across Waterloo region and Southern Ontario.

They say more than $700,000 in fraudulent cheques were deposited to these accounts.

Investigators were able to locate the man on Hespeler Road on Wednesday and charged a 67-year-old from Kitchener.

He was released with a Jan. 30 court date in Kitchener.
