A 48-year-old man is facing charges after an over year-long investigation by the Guelph Police Fraud Unit.
Police say they began investigating in May of 2015 regarding cheques that were being deposited into a local business account. Their investigation revealed that the man was presenting bad cheques from one of his business accounts that had been closed for over a year, and was depositing that money into another active account.
They say the cheques were returned to the bank, and that they suffered a loss of over $11,000.
Police say Tony Turchio of Guelph has been charged with fraud over $5,000 and will appear in court in August.
