York Regional Police have laid multiple charges against three individuals following a fraud investigation in Markham.
Police allege in a news release that between January 9 and September 12, 2025, a senior manager employed at a local business submitted fraudulent invoices for services that were never provided. After the individual’s employment was terminated, the business uncovered invoices totalling more than $360,000 that had allegedly been paid out to companies linked to two additional suspects.
As a result of the investigation, Jennifer Hossain, 36, of Toronto, has been charged with:
Fraud Over $5,000 (two counts)
Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000 (two counts)
Laundering Proceeds of Crime (two counts)
Investigators believe Hossain may be connected to other unreported fraud incidents. Her photograph has been released, and police are encouraging anyone who may have employed her to contact investigators.
Two other Toronto residents have also been charged:

Fraud Over $5,000 (two counts)
Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000 (two counts)
