Constable Rob Thandi charged with fraud and obstructing justice

A 20-year member of the Abbotsford Police Department has been charged with fraud and obstructing justice.

Constable Rob Thandi is accused of fraudulently using extended health benefits and trying to interfere with the investigation into the matter.

In May, he was suspended with pay after both criminal and Police Act investigations into the allegation.

It is also alleged Thandi tried to interfere with the investigation into this matter.

The Police Act Investigation is ongoing and the Abbotsford Police Board will be asked to review whether Thandi’s pay while suspended should continue.
