Georgetown, DE – A 58-year-old man from Georgetown, Delaware, Dave Moncavage, has been arrested by the Delaware State Police for home improvement fraud.

Since October, Troop 4 Financial Crimes Detectives have been investigating Moncavage, who operates under the business name Advanced Interiors. He had reportedly engaged with two victims for construction jobs, accepting over $24,000 in payments, but failing to complete the projects.

On Wednesday at around 2:59 PM, a trooper spotted a white Ford F-150 traveling on Mount Zion Road in Seaford. The truck was stopped after losing a load of material, and Moncavage was identified as the driver and subsequently arrested due to outstanding warrants for home improvement fraud and capias. A search also led to the discovery of drug paraphernalia.

Moncavage was processed at Troop 5, charged with several offenses including home improvement fraud and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was later released on a $5,000 unsecured bond. Detectives are encouraging anyone who may have been defrauded similarly to contact their office or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
