Brantford Police were first tipped off to the concerns in February of last year after an internal financial review by the organization. The Brantford Police Chief then reached out to Hamilton Police to lead the investigation.
On June 8, 63 year old William Sanderson was arrested and charged with Theft by Conversion, four counts Fraud over $5,000, Use Forged Documents, four counts of Fraud under $5,000, and Laundering Proceeds of Crime.
