Following a lengthy investigation into a fraud that occurred at the ATB in Valleyview between Jan. 2014 and August 2015, Western Alberta District (WAD) General Investigation Section (GIS) made an arrest on Aug. 26. 

Further investigation showed that a former employee of ATB in Valleyview, during her employment, had allegedly created numerous fraudulent bank accounts in the name of existing and fictional clients and overdrew funds totaling approximately $340,000. The individual’s employment was terminated by ATB. 

On Aug. 26, WAD GIS arrested and charged Pamela-Ann Medlicott, 53, of Valleyview with Fraud over $5,000. Medlicott was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to attend Valleyview Provincial Court on Oct. 15.
