Two people accused of defrauding local seniors of hundreds of thousands of dollars will be back at the Red Deer provincial courthouse next month.
Red Deer city RCMP charged the pair after receiving complaints that an alleged victim gave substantial amounts of money to two individuals, starting in 2009, based on false information they were providing.
Police further allege that those same individuals used stolen cheques to repay money borrowed from the victim.
Investigators now believe there were at least three victims, of whom two are senior citizens.
Theresa Sutherland, 50, and Kevin Sveinson, 56, will be before the Case Management Office at about 8:30 a.m. on June 18 for election and plea.
Both are charged with fraud over $5,000 and possession of stolen property.
Sutherland also faces two counts of fraud over $5,000, 15 counts of uttering forged documents and six counts of theft under $5,000. Sveinson has been charged with three counts of uttering forged documents.
