THREE HILLS, Alta. — A B.C. woman charged in connection with a 60-thousand-dollar meat scam last year has been arrested in Ontario.
RCMP say Krysta-Lyn Williams of Penticton, was arrested in Picton, Ontario, last week with the assistance of Ontario Provincial Police.
Williams, who is 36, was charged Nov. 20 and had a warrant issued for her arrest on a charge of fraud over $5,000.
She is being transported back to Alberta and is scheduled to appear in court in Airdrie this week.
RCMP in Three Hills, Alta., began an investigation a year ago involving a large meat order being placed with a company named DBL Meats which was determined not to be legitimate.
The company was reported to be based in Kelowna, British Columbia, and the 16 complainants sent an e-transfer for meat products that were not delivered.
