Woman charged with stealing from patients and staff at hospitals across Ontario
Police in Ontario, Canada, have charged a woman with 65 offences including fraud and theft for allegedly stealing from patients and staff at several healthcare centres in the province.
Ontario authorities have charged Nassim Eronn, a 34-year-old woman from Burlington, with 65 alleged offenses including fraud and theft, after allegedly pilfering from patients and staff at various healthcare centers across the province. Police from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) disclosed that the suspected misconduct at these healthcare facilities commenced in February 2024 and persisted until late last month.
Eronn's employment history includes positions at health centers dispersed throughout Ontario. She faces charges encompassing 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, according to police reports.
The investigation initially kicked off in May when complaints of theft and fraud were lodged by patients and staff at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, located approximately 130km north of Toronto. As the probe deepened, it encompassed additional hospitals, resulting in the execution of several search warrants and the seizure of substantial property.
The specifics of Eronn's role at the hospitals remain undisclosed. The police have issued a plea for the public to come forward with any pertinent information, especially concerning suspicious financial activities, following their review of Eronn's financial records. The probe currently implicates five healthcare institutions: Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital (Orillia, ON) from April 2025 to March 2026, Headwaters Health Care Centre (Orangeville, ON) from August 2026 to September 2026, Trillium Health Partners, Mississauga Hospital (Mississauga, ON) from August 2025 to July 2026, St Joseph’s Health Centre (Toronto, ON) from July 2024 to January 2025, and West Park Health Care Centre (Toronto, ON) from February 2024 to April 2024.
