Troopers Arrest Millville Man for Home Improvement Fraud


Date Posted: Friday, March 15th, 2024

Delaware State Police arrested 44-year-old Jeremy Bowen of Millville, Delaware for home improvement fraud on Wednesday.

On June 7, 2023, a Dover man contacted State Police to report a home improvement fraud. During the investigation, troopers learned that Jeremy Bowen, of Delmarva Landscaping Solutions LLC, had signed a contract in May 2022 to install an inground pool that was supposed to be completed in approximately five weeks. The 72-year-old victim had paid Bowen $43,000 to do the work. Since that time, the work had not been started, the contract was not fulfilled, and the victim’s money was never reimbursed. Troopers obtained a warrant for Bowen’s arrest.

On March 13, 2024, he turned himself in to Troop 5, where he was charged with the following crime:

  • Home Improvement Fraud Over $1,500 and Victim is 62 Years of Age or Older (Felony)

Bowen was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on his own recognizance.

We encourage or urge anyone who suspects they have been defrauded by Bowen to report any incidents to their local police department.
