York Regional Police have charged a 43-year-old Bolton woman in connection with a $1.2 million fraud investigation in Vaughan.

The accused committed 13 different types of fraud and has been charged with:
- Fraud over $5,000
- Theft over $5,000
- Utter forged documents
The accused will face the charges in a Newmarket courtroom in October.
