The Story
Two people are facing 16 fraud and forgery charges after police allege more than $11,000 was stolen from a non-profit group in Abbotsford, B.C.
Police say a 42-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were charged following a yearlong investigation that began in June 2025.
Investigators say a representative from the Cedar Outreach Society approached police after reviewing the organization’s financial records, which showed “the falsification and deposit of forged cheques.”
Police allege the non-profit’s review found several altered cheques were deposited into a bank account outside the organization between February and September 2025.
Police did not provide additional details about the case.
The Cedar Outreach Society provides “essential housing supports” and homelessness prevention services in Abbotsford, and police say the alleged fraud is especially serious due to what they describe as undermining public trust and diverting resources away from those in need.
