Cops Suspect Nunda Woman Set Up Fraud Cancer Benefit

NUNDA – The Nunda Police Department arrested a local resident for allegedly pocketing money from a cancer fundraiser she organized.

According to a press release from the Nunda Police Department, Patty Wilkins, 32, was arrested for Scheme to Defraud.

“Allegedly, Wilkins took in a few hundred dollars from the benefit, promising prizes to various winners but never paid out any of the prizes and kept the money in her account,” posted the Nunda Police Department.
