Two arrested in Wallaceburg on fraud-related warrant

Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Two Chatham-Kent men have been arrested in connection with fraudulent credit card purchases reported last month in Wallaceburg.

Police say a 59-year-old woman reported her wallet stolen on Nov. 14, and several unauthorized transactions were made at local businesses.

Surveillance footage helped identify two men, aged 49 and 36, as suspects.

A warrant was issued, and officers arrested both men early Thursday morning on McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.

They are each charged with fraud under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Both were released with conditions and are scheduled to appear in court Jan. 15.
