A Gravenhurst male has been arrested in an alleged snow-clearing scam with several victims in Guelph.
In November, 2022, five Guelph residents responded to online advertisements offering snow-clearing services for the upcoming winter. The five paid a total of more than $4,000 for snow removal at their residences or businesses, however the service was never provided.
Last week, a male was arrested by another police service in a separate investigation and was also charged in relation to the Guelph occurrences.
A 34-year-old Gravenhurst male is charged with five counts of fraud under $5,000. He will appear in a Guelph court June 2, 2023.
Police did not release the name of the male.
