OPP officials allege: Investigators have set up a dedicated tipline as they continue to seek public assistance in an ongoing fraud investigation involving the London Health Sciences Centre.
The London Police Service launched the investigation in October 2024 into allegations of fraudulent financial activity at the hospital network after concerns were brought forward by LHSC.
Because of the complexity of the case and the specialized resources required, the investigation is now being conducted jointly with Ontario Provincial Police investigators from the Serious Fraud Office.
“We remain fully committed to this investigation and value the continued partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police and the Serious Fraud Office,” said Det. Supt. Sean Travis of the London Police Service’s Criminal Investigation Division. “Shared expertise and investigative collaboration are essential in advancing this complex file. We also encourage anyone with information to come forward, as even the smallest detail may assist investigators.”
Det. Supt. Jennifer Spurrell of the OPP’s Serious Fraud Office echoed that call for public assistance.
“Information from the public can be critical in complex fraud investigations,” she said. “We encourage anyone who may have information to come forward, no matter how minor it may seem. Even small details can play an important role in advancing the investigation.”
The Serious Fraud Office is a joint initiative of the OPP and the Ministry of the Attorney General that investigates and prosecutes complex fraud and financial crimes, bringing together police investigators and Crown prosecutors.
Anyone with information is asked to call the dedicated tipline at 1-844-677-9413, the London Police Service at 519-661-5670 or the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or ontariocrimestoppers.ca.
