So my brother in law stole 4 company cheques from his father (here in Alberta, Canada), and successfully cashed two of them with a forged signature before it was noticed. The total take is over $8500 CAD. We are going to the bank on Monday to report it, and then I'm guessing the RCMP after, but what charges can we expect to be laid? Theft over $5000, forgery, fraud? What kind of jail time are we looking at being able to give this bugger? Also - if a person (this brother in law) leaves the country, will the warrant be outstanding when/if he returns? Will they pick him up at customs? Can they cancel his passport and force him to return to face the music? I hope we can nail him good.
