A Gravenhurst man has been arrested in an alleged snow-clearing scam that included several victims in Guelph.

Last November, five Guelph residents responded to online advertisements offering snow-clearing services for the upcoming winter. The five paid a total of more than $4,000 for snow removal at their residences or businesses, however the service was never provided.

Last week, a male was arrested by another police service in a separate investigation and was also charged in relation to the Guelph occurrences.

A 34-year-old man is charged with five counts of fraud under $5,000.
