Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: In May, a man and woman offered six Yorkie puppies for sale on Kijiji for $800.
Nine people responded to the ad and e-transferred money to the pair as a deposit for a puppy.
In June, the woman contacted the people and told them that the puppies had been stolen.
No one received their deposit back.
In total, the man and woman received $3,850 from the nine victims.
Yesterday, a 32-year man and a 32-year-old woman, both of Chatham Township, were arrested and charged with nine counts of fraud under $5,000.
They were released pending a future court date of December 16, 2020.
