Fraud charges have been laid against an employee of an Edmonton mechanical company who allegedly deposited 465 cheques valued at more than $5 million into her own bank account over seven years. Edmonton police said in a news release they became aware in late 2016 of suspicious financial transactions involving the business, which they did not name. A total of $5,152,179.10 was allegedly defrauded from the business, the Edmonton Police Service said in a news release on Tuesday. A 54-year-old woman turned herself in last week. She has been charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.
