McWhirter faces several charges, including 3 counts of
fraud over 5-thousand-dollars and theft over 5-thousand-dollars.
Police say McWhirter had been the focus of an 18-month investigation and was arrested on a Canada-Wide warrant.
McWhirter worked at a financial business in Guelph from 1999 to 2006 and it is alleged he used various means to steal the money.

Canadian Customs officers at Fort Erie informed police here today they had taken a man wanted in Guelph into custody on a Canada-wide warrant.

Guelph officers went to the Peace Bridge customs office today and returned the man ending an 18-month investigation.

"During the investigation, police learned that the male had worked in Guelph for a local financial business from 1999 to 2006 and stole over $2.5 million through various deceitful means," police say.
 
Kirk McWhirter, 33, of Mount Forrest was charged with three counts of fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000.

McWhirter appeared in bail court today where it was revealed he worked at Olympic Honda in Guelph. He was returning to Canada from a golf trip in the U.S. when he was taken into custody at the border.

from 570 news and the guelph mercury respectfully

man that is a major deal...

Did he have the best car money could buy?

That is a lot of racing money. I know a girl that got caught for fraud of over 1 Million US and the compnay let her off andit wan't even reported to the police and I bet they never told their share holders as well. They didn't want it to get released to the papers I guess. Funny thing is they spent the money and have nothing to show for it and still have a morgage for their house and owe the bank money.

He is going to do some time for this for sure.

i love that so many people get joy out of this topic so much so that its now become a public discussion.
18months or not - he hasn't been proven guilty as of yet.

When they have a Canada-Wide warrant on you there is a good chance you are guilty but it seems in Canada you are guilty till you can prove your innocent.

No one is saying they are enjoying what happened we would rather not have this happen in our racing community but it does.

100% but it is definitely discussion worthy...it is a member of the racing community a fairly well known race team....

I agree that he isn't guilty yet....as the articles state he is just charged and is out on bail....we are just saying that an investigation of this magnitude is hardly ever wrong....
