A Regina male is charged with Fraud Over $5,000 in a case that alleges the accused defrauded the numbered company of which he was a partner. The numbered company was created by three partners to buy property, renovate, and sell for profit.

It is alleged that between May 2011 and February 2012, one of the partners in the business wrote company cheques to himself without approval of the company. As a result of investigation by the Regina Police Service Commercial Crime Unit, a 46 year-old male was arrested without incident on May 6, 2013 and charged.
