Three Hills RCMP searching for B.C. woman in meat purchasing scam

Nov 20, 2024 | 11:05 AM

Three Hills RCMP have charged a B.C. woman involved in a meat purchasing scam.

Penticton, B.C.’s Krysta-Lyn Williams, 36, has been charged with fraud over $5,000 and a warrant for her arrest has been issued following an investigation that began in December 2023.

The fraud investigation unveiled that 16 victims sent $60,000 through e-transfer for meat products that were not delivered as promised.

Police originally began investigating after one of the victims arranged a large meat order with DBL Meats, which was reported to be based out of Kelowna, B.C. and claimed to provide fresh farm products to Canadians.

The investigation determined that DBL Meats was not a legitimate company and had fraudulently acquired money from the victims.
