Troopers Seek Victims of Home Improvement Fraud

Millsboro, DE - The Delaware State Police is currently investigating multiple home improvement fraud cases in the Millsboro area.

The preliminary investigation revealed the incidents occurred back in May of 2015 when Brett Johnson, of Johnson’s Custom Carpentry, was hired by several victims to complete work at their homes in the Millsboro area. A verbal proposal was submitted to the victim, who in turn, provided Brett with a deposit totaling more than $ 6,600.00. None of the work has been started and Brett Johnson failed to return the victim’s money even after numerous requests.

If any homeowner has had any contact with this company and the work was not performed or completed involving Brett Johnson, they are asked to contact Det. T. Shockley at 302-752-3812. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword "DSP."
