Mounties Charge South Shore Woman with Fraud

A Lunenburg County woman is facing numerous fraud charges totalling more than $80,000 dollars following a month long investigation. Forty-seven year-old Sandra Skinner is facing five counts of fraud over $5000 and is set to make her first appearance in Bridgewater on January 18th. Police launched the probe following a complaint from the province's Department of Health and Wellness in September. During the investigation, Mounties discovered that Harbour View Haven Nursing Home submitted claims requesting reimbursement for capital projects. In each instance, the work was either not completed, the goods not purchased or the goods not approved. Harbour View Haven is located in Lunenburg and has been serving the community since the 70's.
