Man Charged With Defrauding Senior Citizen

A 55-year-old city man is charged with defrauding a 69-year-old bedridden man who has speaking problems.

Police tell us a person who knows the victim tipped them last month off about some suspicious activity.

After an investigation, it was discovered the man who had been repeatedly using credit and debit cards belonging to the victim. Police say he managed to rack up more than $45,000 in fraudulent transactions.

The suspect remains in custody.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
