A Winnipeg police officer is accused of a number of offences, said the police service on Wednesday.
Sgt. Richard Sierhuis, 47, faces seven charges for fraud over $5,000, passing of wares or services and driving an unregistered vehicle, said police.
The allegations relate to off-duty conduct. The Winnipeg Police Service launched an investigation into the matter in October 2012.
Sierhuis, a 24-year veteran of the force, has been placed on administrative leave, pending a review to decide his employment status.
