The RCMP say three people from Saint John have been charged with fraud against the federal government after a four-year investigation.
61-year-old Herman Thompson, 62-year-old Cecile Bernier and 52-year-old Richard Howe have all been charged with fraud over $5,000.
The Mounties tell CHSJ News the charges stem from an investigation that started in 2008 following an unspecified complaint from the Canada Pension Plan office.
Howe and Thompson are due before a judge on September 19th while Bernier has a court date in October.
