Fraud charges for Fort Erie couple

Fraud charges have been laid against a Fort Erie couple following a lengthy investigation by Niagara Regional Police. 

Karen and Michael Gushue are charged with fraud over $5,000 and uttering a forged document. 

The charges stem from an investigation into a failed rent-to-own agreement in relation to a Fort Erie home.  

The pair were arrested last week and released with several conditions following a bail hearing last Friday.
