Police called when B.C. little league finds it bank accounts emptied of $230,000

Coquitlam Little League says it has barely $3,000 in the bank after funds totalling almost $230,000 disappeared from its account.

A club statement says it was told in early June that more than 200,000 was on hand, but just weeks later members reported refunds for the pandemic-cancelled season had not arrived.

Club president Sandon Fraser says the RCMP has taken over the case and the team's financial statements are being reviewed by an independent accountant.

Coquitlam RCMP says it expects to issue a statement later today.
