B.C. woman on the lam in $60,000 meat scam arrested in Ontario

A British Columbia woman charged in connection with a $60,000 meat scam last year has been arrested in Ontario.

RCMP say Krysta-Lyn Williams of Penticton, was arrested in Picton, Ont., last week with the assistance of Ontario Provincial Police.

Williams, who is 36, was charged on Nov. 20 with fraud over $5,000 and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

She is being transported back to Alberta and is scheduled to appear in court in Airdrie this week.

RCMP in Three Hills, Alta., began an investigation a year ago involving a large meat order being placed with a company named DBL Meats which was determined not to be legitimate.

The company was reported to be based in Kelowna, B.C., and the 16 complainants sent an e-transfer for meat products that were not delivered.
