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.
