Mounties have charged a member of the Calgary Police Service with a number of fraud and theft offences, allegedly committed while he was off duty in Airdrie.

The charges stem from “a number of incidents” throughout the month of May, “some of which were connected to a domestic relationship,” Calgary police said in a release.

“At the time of the alleged incidents, the officer was on leave on an unrelated matter,” police said.

Police said the male officer will not be named, “as some of the charges are domestic in nature,” to protect the privacy of the victim.

The 11-year veteran of the police service has been charged with one count of theft under $5,000, four counts of breach of recognizance, two counts of fraud under $5,000, one count of uttering a forged document, and one count of assault.

Police say the member will remain on paid leave in connection to the separate matter and his status will be reviewed over the next 30 days.
