A 42-year-old Meaford man has been arrested and charged at the conclusion of an investigation conducted by the Owen Sound Police Service Criminal Investigations Branch after an Owen Sound Restaurant was defrauded out of more than $25,000.



The investigation determined that the accused was able to steal a bank card and associated pin number for one of the restaurant’s business accounts. After stealing the card, the accused proceeded to withdraw cash and make numerous unauthorized purchases at various bank machines and businesses in both the City of Owen Sound and the Town of Meaford. A regularly occurring audit conducted by restaurant staff revealed the transactions and missing funds, and the matter was reported to the Owen Sound Police for investigation.

On February 6, 2025 the accused was arrested and charged with Fraud Exceeding $5,000, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Unauthorized Use of a Credit Card, Unauthorized Possession of Credit Card Data, and Wearing a Disguise with Intent to Commit an Indictable Offence.

This accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound in March of 2025.
