The Orillia detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police laid the additional counts against the 34-year-old after identifying further victims and executing multiple search warrants that yielded significant amounts of seized property including piles of clothing and furniture. According to an OPP release, the charges comprise 34 counts of fraud under $5,000, 13 counts of theft under $5,000, seven counts of disobeying a court order, four counts of criminal breach of trust, two counts of fraud over $5,000, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, one count of theft over $5,000 and one count of personation with intent. Police first received complaints from patients and staff at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, which prompted the major crime unit to broaden its inquiry.
Investigators determined the alleged offences spanned five healthcare sites with activity reported at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital between April 2025 and March 2026, at Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville between August 2026 and September 2026 and at Trillium Health Partners in Mississauga between August 2025 and July 2026. A Toronto Sun account noted the timeline also covered St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto from July 2024 to January 2025 along with West Park Health Care Centre in Toronto from February 2024 to April 2024. Global News reported that the OPP continue to believe additional victims who were patients, visitors or staff in various units remain unidentified.
Eronn was initially charged in May 2026 with disobeying a court order and making a false statement in writing after the probe originated at the Orillia facility where she had worked, according to multiple local outlets including CTV News and Orillia Matters. The OPP said in its September 26 update that several search warrants produced what officers described as significant amounts of property, with photographs of the seized items distributed to media. Barrie360 noted the expansion followed the discovery of further complaints tied to the same suspect across the province.
A Toronto Sun review of court records from 2019 found that Eronn had previously been convicted of stealing cash from a palliative patient she cared for in St. Catharines while employed by the Victorian Order of Nurses. The newspaper reported that Judge Harvey Brownstone told her in court, “There’s a special place in hell, ma’am, reserved for people like you who steal from an elderly, vulnerable person.” The judge added at the time, “This woman is a ruthless criminal,” and questioned how she had been hired given her earlier fraud-related convictions dating to 2017.
Ontario Provincial Police urged anyone who attended the listed hospitals during the specified periods to examine their financial records for unauthorised transactions and contact investigators if they suspect they were victimised. The force issued the call through its September 26 release while emphasising that the major crime unit investigation remains active. Officials provided a tip line at 1-888-310-1122 and encouraged anonymous submissions to Crime Stoppers.
The case draws attention to vulnerabilities in healthcare environments where staff and patients may keep personal belongings and financial information accessible during treatment, though specific provincial aggregates on such thefts were not detailed in police statements. Earlier coverage from May 2026 by outlets such as INsauga and BurlingtonToday first publicised the Orillia complaints that eventually led to the wider inquiry. Authorities have not released an estimate of the total value involved across all counts.
