A Kitchener woman has been arrested after more than $95,000 was diverted from a social committee at a Guelph employer.

In November, 2023, members of the committee contacted police to report the loss. Investigation revealed over a 16-month period ending in August, 2023, more than 50 e-transfers were sent from the social committee bank account to their treasurer’s personal email. She is no longer employed by the company.

On Monday a 33-year-old Kitchener woman was arrested and charged with fraud over $5,000.
