A 53-year-old woman will be in court on October 15 to defend against fraud charges.

Pamela-Ann-Mendlicott was arrested and changed on August 26 in connection to a case that goes back to January of 2014.

The Western Alberta District’s General Investigation Section (WAD-GIS) of the RCMP has been looking into a possible fraud that had happened at the ATB in Valleyview between January of 2014 and August of 2015.

The investigation revealed that Medlicott, who is a former employee of ATB, had allegedly created numerous fraudulent bank accounts using the name of existing and fake clients and overdrew funds totaling approximately $340,000.

She was arrested and charged with fraud over $5,000.

“This lengthy investigation was finally concluded regarding charges with the accused and we were able to identify monies that were taken over a lengthy period of time,” says Corporal Thomas Parker of WAD GIS.

“Any potential victims have been contacted to ensure they did not suffer any financial losses.”
