A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a fraud and theft investigation - two months after he was charged in a similar incident.
Shortly before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15, Windsor Police responded to a reported fraud in the 2400 block of Dougall Avenue.
Officers learned that two individuals had arranged the sale of a drone through an online marketplace, and met in person to complete the transaction.
During the exchange, police state that the buyer handed over $640 in counterfeit bills, and quickly fled the area on a motorcycle with the drone. The seller soon realized the money was fake.
No injuries were reported.
Officers were able to quickly identify the suspect, and arrested him at a residence in the 1200 block of Isabelle Place on Tuesday night.
The suspect is facing six charges including fraud under $5,000, theft under $5,000, possession of counterfeit money, uttering counterfeit money, possession of property obtained by crime, and operation while prohibited.
