A Toronto-area man has been charged in connection with a $420,000 furniture store fraud, CTV reported Wednesday.

Police say that between March 2006 and February 2009, Arutoru Kamiyama, then a purchasing agent for a Vaughan, Ontario, furniture wholesale company, diverted seven tractor trailers of furniture from their intended destination to other furniture stores.

Police also said the furniture stores, who thought the suspect was an independent broker, paid Kamiyama directly.
