Richmond RCMP have finished its investigation involving Alameda Travel Limited after the travel agency suddenly ceased operations last month.
The investigation looked into the companys business practices and spoke to several of the complainants, concluding the financial difficulties experienced by Alameda Travel were not deemed criminal in nature.
Last month, the News reported a customer, Tingting Yao, accused Alameda owner, Deanna Leung, of doctoring a cheque Yao had made out to the company.
When looking at her bank statement, Yao noticed the name on the cheque had been changed from the companys to the owners.
Cpl, Sherrdean Derkatch of the Richmond RCMP was unaware of that particular complaint. She should give us a call about this and we can advise her one way or another.
Derkatch didnt have any more information regarding why the firm folded or how many customers were affected. Clients can contact Consumer Protection BC at 1-888-564-9963.
