Two women are in custody following a major police investigation into counterfeit currency and fraud in St. Thomas and the surrounding area. The St. Thomas Police Service, with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police, executed search warrants in Fingal and Springfield on March 20, 2026, leading to the arrests.
Kali Robinson-Bobier, 33, of Fingal and Chelsea O’Connor, 37, of St. Thomas were arrested during the operation. Both individuals appeared in court on March 26, 2026, and remain in custody. During the search, investigators seized counterfeit money, fraudulent identification documents, personal information belonging to multiple individuals, equipment used to create fake documents, cash, suspected methamphetamine, and prohibited weapons.
Local police have been tracking the circulation of fake bills in St. Thomas since November 2025. This investigation is part of a broader effort by local authorities to address several criminal matters in the community, including recent cases of arson and ongoing investigations into intimate partner violence.
Robinson-Bobier was previously arrested by local police on similar fraud and identity theft charges in September 2023. As these investigations continue, police are urging members of the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
