Back in February, provincial police initiated a fraud investigation after a complaint involving transportation and financial irregularities. Police allege that livestock was being transported from a farm in Tay Township and then sold at a Cookstown stockyard sale in September 2024. A suspect who was known to police was identified and a warrant for her arrest was issued. The warrant was acted upon by Toronto police after an interaction on June 27. As a result, the 28-year-old of North York was arrested and charged with obtaining by false pretence, fraud over $5,000, theft over $5,000 and making a forged document. The accused woman has been released and will appear before the courts at a later date. OPP Investigators ask that anyone having knowledge of this or similar investigations to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
