A 42-year-old woman has been ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution after pleading guilty to defrauding her employer — an ambulance service — in eastern Saskatchewan.
Lucinda Schwartz from Runnymede, Sask. pleaded guilty in Kamsack provincial court May 19 to one count of fraud over $5,000. The Duck Mountain Ambulance employee defrauded the emergency service, according to RCMP.
The investigation covered a four-year period from 2007 to 2011. Schwartz worked in the office at the Kamsack-area ambulance service, RCMP said.
She was sentenced May 19 to a two-year conditional sentence — which will be served in the community — and was ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution to Duck Mountain Ambulance. She will serve two years on probation following the community sentence.
