Three Suspects In Custody Over Alleged Bank Fraud In B.C. And Alberta: RCMP

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Apr, 2015 12:40 PM
    VANCOUVER — RCMP say a woman and two men are in custody after several fraudulent bank transactions in B.C. and Alberta.
     
    Police say charges against 35-year-old Elizabeth Angelopoulous of Calgary include identity fraud, possession of credit card data and obstruction.
     
    Mounties say Angelopoulous was arrested in North Vancouver after she allegedly attempted to withdraw a significant amount of money with fraudulent bank and identification cards.
     
    Police say a teller noticed irregularities in documents and contacted police when the woman abruptly left the bank.
     
    They say her co-accused, 21- and 23-year-old brothers Emmanuel and Samuel Chiasson, were arrested in Calgary on charges of extortion and fraud over $5,000.
     
    The pair have been brought to B.C. to face criminal charges and police believe they coerced and threatened Angelopoulous into committing the bank frauds.
