The former director of the Corner Brook Downtown Business Association is facing over a dozen charges after tens of thousands of dollars went missing from the association’s coffers.

The RNC says it was contacted last fall when the association noticed a substantial amount of funds missing from its accounts.

Police say on June 11th, their investigation led to the arrest of a 31-year-old Corner Brook Woman, who was charged with four counts of fraud over $5,000 and 10 counts of fraud under $5,000.

Nicole McKinnon, who once served as the organization’s executive director, appears on the provincial court docket facing a total list of 19 charges.

According to the docket, McKinnon is also charged with unauthorized use of credit card data, breaking and entering and committing an indictable offence, as well as possessing property obtained by crime.

She is scheduled to appear in provincial court in July.

While the investigation continues, the RNC does not currently expect further charges.
