A 42-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman face 16 fraud and forgery charges in an Abbotsford case involving a non-profit that allegedly lost more than $11,000.
The Story
Two people in Abbotsford, B.C., are facing 16 fraud and forgery charges after more than $11,000 was allegedly stolen from a non-profit group, police said.
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 said a representative from the Cedar Outreach Society approached police after reviewing the non-profit’s financial records, which showed “the falsification and deposit of forged cheques.”
Police said the Cedar Outreach Society’s review found that several altered cheques were deposited into a bank account outside the organization between February and September 2025.
Police said no additional information about the case has been released.
The Cedar Outreach Society provides “essential housing supports” and homelessness prevention services in Abbotsford, and police said the alleged fraud is especially serious given its possible undermining of public trust and diversion of resources away from those in need.
