A 25-year-old is facing fraud and theft charges following a five month investigation.
Ghislain Dugas, 25, of Grande Prairie, is facing several Criminal Code charges.
Grande Prairie RCMP say its General Investigation Section laid the charges after an investigation into stolen money from a business in Grande Prairie and Rycroft.

As a result of the investigation, Dugas was charged with two counts of theft over $5,000 and two counts of fraud over $5,000.
Dugas will appear in Grande Prairie Provincial Court on January 31, 2018.
