A 31-year-old woman from the Greater Toronto Area faces charges after an investigation into a $13,000 fraud targeting a senior resident.
In October 2025, the Cobourg Police Service Criminal Investigation Bureau launched an investigation after a 76-year-old woman was defrauded of approximately $13,000. The victim was scammed through an online scheme to invest her money in cryptocurrency.
As a result of the investigation, the police identified a suspect from the Greater Toronto Area. On October 23, 2026, Swena ARORA was arrested and charged with Fraud Over $5,000 and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000. The accused was released on an undertaking with a future court date.
