A 34-year-old New Waterford woman has been charged with uttering a forged document

after she allegedly changed information in a criminal record check.

The woman is said to have altered information in the document after it was completed by Cape Breton Regional Police.

She was not named, pending her appearance in court on Nov.4.

Police spokeswoman Desiree Vassallo released the information Tuesday after the woman was freed on a promise to appear in court.

Potential employers and volunteer organizations depend upon the accuracy of criminal record checks to determine a person’s suitability for a position, Vassallo suggested.

“Tampering with a criminal records check — an official legal document — is illegal, and police will investigate any suspected tampering to hold people accountable,” she said.
