A woman is in custody after more than $72,000 was withdrawn from several banks around Durham Region using fraudulent identification in a case that dates back more than three years.
The Durham Regional Police Financial Crimes Unit launched an investigation after the money was taken from the accounts of various victims between February 25, 2022 and August 17, 2023. Police say the woman used fake identification to impersonate several victims and withdraw money from their accounts.
Nadia Campitelli, 48, of no fixed address, was arrested last Thursday and charged with four counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of personation with intent, five counts of possession of identity of another, two court order violations and a half dozen fail to comply charges.
Campitelli, who was held for a bail hearing, is wanted by multiple police services for similar offences across Canada.
