Fishers Police completed an extensive investigation that led to charges of theft and fraud related to what investigators say was a rental scam.

Megan Stoner, 25, from Elwood, faces felony charges of theft, fraud and corrupt business influence.

Here is how Fishers Police described the situation:

“In the Fall of 2021, the Fishers Police Department launched an investigation into a possible rental home scheme. The scheme involved a female misrepresenting herself as the owner of a home in Fishers. The suspect allegedly scammed three victims into signing a lease agreement and giving her money as their deposit and first month’s rent. The suspect never provided keys or access to the residence.”

Officers issued an arrest warrant in late April and the suspect turned herself into authorities the next day.
