She has been charged with fraud over $5,000.

Police arrested a 36-year-old Fort Erie woman on Monday.

The NRP started it's investigation back in October.

Officers were looking into suspected fraudulent activities involving Ontario Works payments, and failing to disclose additional income and assets.
