The Saskatoon Police Service Economic Crime Unit has laid charges in connection to a fraud investigation dating back the better part of a decade.

Police say the fraud took place between September of 2013 and June of 2018.

In June of 2018, the Saskatoon Police Service received a report from a business in the 2900 block of Idylwyld Drive North, of an employee stealing merchandise and selling it for personal profit. Over the span of nearly five years over $1.1 million in merchandise was stolen.

Yesterday (jan 4), a 45-year-old man turned himself in to the Saskatoon Police Service. He is charged with Fraud and Theft Over $5000. His first court appearance will be February 9th.
