SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario — A local woman is facing fraud charges after allegedly transferring nearly $4,000 from an acquaintance’s bank account without permission.
The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service launched an investigation on May 6, following a report that someone had fraudulently accessed a bank account and moved approximately $3,900 into another account.
Police say the accused and the victim know each other, though further details have not been disclosed.
On Friday, officers arrested Ashley Clement, 50. She has been charged with fraud under $5,000.
Authorities noted that none of the allegations have been proven in court, and Clement is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
