In early June, Detectives from the Financial Crimes Unit of our Criminal Investigation Division began a fraud investigation into an employee at a local business who was believed to be using company funds and forging accounting entries for personal financial gain.
After interviewing several witnesses and obtaining a search warrant for the individual’s personal banking records, Detectives arrested and charged 41-year-old, Josee Lafontaine with Fraud Over $5,000. It is believed that over $104,000 was misappropriated over the course of a year.
Josee Lafontaine will appear in court on September 20, 2023 to answer to the charge.
