A 50 year old Owen Sound area man has appeared in court on several charges including one of fraud over $5,000 and one of theft over $5,000.
Michael Moore is also facing three charges of fraud under $5,000 and three counts of unauthorized use of credit cards.
Owen Sound Police Inspector Vince Wurfel says the charges were laid over several months between July of last year (2013) and April of this year.
Inspector Wurfel says the counts of unauthorized use of credit cards, involved charges against customers of Thrifty Rental or U-Haul in Owen Sound that had not been approved by the card-holder.
The charge of theft over and fraud over $5,000 is in connection with the alleged sale of a vehicle that a Leasing company actually had title to.
Moore’s case returns to court on July 17th in Owen Sound.
Moore is no longer connected to Thrifty Rental or U-Haul.
The Baywest Group has purchased the Thrifty franchise and it is operating out of the Mitsubishi location.
