A 65-year-old woman has been charged after thousands of dollars were found to be missing from a B.C. little league bank account.
In August 2020, Coquitlam Mounties were notified that more than $150,000 was missing from Coquitlam Little League’s bank account and a fraud report was filed.
Investigators identified Terri Michael as a suspect, who had worked as the league’s treasurer for six years between September 2014 and August 2020.
“Our investigators worked diligently throughout this two-and-a-half-year investigation to gather evidence, identify and interview witnesses and support charges,” Sgt. Karrie Ellis said.
On Wednesday, Michael was charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000.
She has since been released, pending her next court appearance.
