Fraud and firearm charges

A probe into suspected irregularities in archaeological reports prompted OPP officers to charge a 60-year-old Aurora man with fraud and firearms offences.

Officers started their investigation in February 2024 after the OPP received information about a suspected fraud related to archaeological surveys submitted to the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism.

Police alleged the archaeological reports — related to land development and construction projects — misrepresented the level of archaeological assessment performed, leading to inflated costs totalling approximately $350,000.

The firearm charges are not connected to the archaeological reports, according to police.
