CALGARY - Police have charged a 29-year-old bank employee with money laundering.
The charges come after a local bank contacted police in late July to report the theft of bank drafts which they believed had been forged and used to obtain large sums of money at a casino.
"The bank also told investigators that they suspected a staff member was likely responsible, and that approximately $255,000 had been obtained by the suspect," Calgary police said in a news release.
Simbarashe Godfrey Nzvimbo of Zimbabwe was arrested in south Calgary on July 30.
He has been charged with three counts of uttering a forged document, one count of fraud over $5,000 and one count of money laundering.
Nzvimbo is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
