In-home care aide facing 65 new fraud-related charges involving elderly victims: Surrey RCMP

Another 65 fraud-related charges involving 19 elderly victims have been laid against a former Surrey care aide.

The Surrey RCMP financial crime unit released the name and photo of the suspected fraudster, 30-year-old Ana Marie Lat Chamdal, back in July.

An investigation was launched a month before that into allegations about one victim. Dozens more alleged victims have since come forward.

Earlier this week, 65 more charges were laid, including fraud over $5,000, unlawfully entering a dwelling, assault, theft of credit cards and possession of a forged document. Most of the victims were in Surrey.

Chamdal, who worked as an in-home care aide, was arrested Wednesday on the new charges and is in custody until her next court appearance.
