The suspect, identified as Nassim Eronn from Burlington, has been accused of stealing from patients and staff across the province from February 2024 to September 2026.
OPP’s investigation began after an incident at Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital and was later expanded to cover four more facilities. Search warrants were executed that recovered clothing, medical supplies and other items valued at thousands of dollars.
Charges include 34 counts of fraud under $5,000, 13 counts of theft under $5,000, seven counts of disobeying a court order, breach of trust and impersonation. Authorities believe more victims may exist and are urging the public to review financial records for suspicious transactions.
Hospitals involved are:
