Morden Police Service has arrested a 19-year-old employee of a local business after he was caught allegedly stealing gift cards.
Police say that on October 18, 2019, officers were told that the employee took the gift cards then added credit to the cards fraudulently. Staff at the business caught the culprit and terminated their employment.

The accused from the RM of Stanley was arrested and charged for their alleged involvement with Fraudulently Obtaining Credit and will be appearing in Morden Provincial court this month.
