Flin Flon RCMP have laid charges in connection with an elder abuse and fraud investigation involving an 89-year-old Flin Flon woman.
Officers launched an investigation after being alerted of suspicious activities on the victim’s credit card in mid-December.
A Denare Beach woman has been charged with one count of possession of stolen property, five counts of fraud and four counts of wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence, all offences under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Video surveillance of a suspect using the stolen credit card was obtained and seized by police. Flin Flon RCMP was assisted by the Creighton RCMP division in the investigation, which also involved branch and security staff from two different banks.
RCMP said investigators believe the victim was targeted by the suspect.
The suspect has been released on a promise to appear in court. Conditions include having no contact with the victim.
