You can be charged with fraud if police believe you committed an offence where a person or the public was defrauded of any property, money or valuable security or service.
If you steal something, such as a tool from a shed or money from a cash register, that’s theft.
Thefts and frauds are two of the most common offences in Canada. Some people might not realize that the penalties for each crime increase substantially if the amount stolen or defrauded is more than $5,000.
