SURREY, B.C. — Police say a woman has been arrested after the alleged theft of thousands of dollars from the parent advisory council at an elementary school in Surrey, B.C.

RCMP say staff from KB Woodward Elementary School contacted them last September to report that the group had been defrauded of more than $35,000.

Officers with the force’s economic crime unit investigated and identified a suspect.

Police say a 31-year-old woman from Surrey turned herself in on Monday.
