On May 17, 2025, at approximately 14:56 hrs, the Chatham-Kent Police Service responded to a report of fraud at a local business in Chatham. Upon arrival, officers spoke with a Loss Prevention Officer who provided surveillance footage of a 44-year-old male suspect from Chatham involved in suspicious activity (CK25028607).
The footage showed the suspect entering the store, selecting an item for purchase, and proceeding to the customer service desk where he claimed he was returning the item. A refund was issued to the suspect’s credit card, and he then exited the store.
After reviewing the video footage and transaction records, officers formed reasonable and probable grounds to charge the individual.
On May 26, 2025, at approximately 18:14 hrs, officers attended the suspect’s residence. He was arrested for Fraud Under $5,000 in connection with the prior incident (CK25028607) at the local business.
The accused was transported to the Chatham-Kent Police Service headquarters. He was released with a future court date of June 23, 2025.
