A Carberry woman was charged with 18 counts of theft under $5,000 after Mounties received a report of a stolen credit card.
On April 27, a 62-year-old woman reported that her credit card had been stolen and was last used at a Brandon business. She also said the suspect had taken personal cheques from her and tried to use them, RCMP said in a news release on Friday.
Mounties said by the time the woman had realized her card was missing, it had racked up almost $6,800 in charges.
Officers identified a suspect and arrested her at her residence on May 15.
Aslinn Arason, 33, is charged with 18 counts of theft under $5,000, along with fraud less than or equal to $5,000 and forgery.
She was held in custody until her court appearance in Brandon provincial court on Tuesday.
The Crown consented to Arason’s release on a bail plan that included a $2,000 promise to pay and a $2,000 cash deposit.
The plan had conditions that she reside in Carberry under a 24-7 curfew, with exceptions.
