The victims did not receive refunds from the men either, according to a brief from police.

They say the three men, ages 53, 46, and 37, were arrested last week and have been charged with fraud over $5,000, fraud under $5,000, and possession of property obtained by crime.

Police believe there could be other victims, and ask anyone who may have been the victim of a home reno scam to call 519-570-9777 ext. 6365.
