A man who the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said took money for a kitchen remodel but didn’t do the work ― and didn’t have the required licensing ― has been arrested in Polk County, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
Argelys Virgilio Zambrano Andrade, 37, was wanted by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office for theft and unlicensed contracting. Zambrano took $14,950 in down payments from a Deltona customer to remodel a kitchen.
“VSO detectives learned Zambrano immediately cashed the victim’s checks but never applied for any permits and does not possess the required licensing,” according to the sheriff’s office. “Zambrano, of ‘ZL Renovations LLC’ in Orlando, is charged with Contractor Fraud, Unregistered Contractor, and Fraud Impersonating during a State of Emergency.”
Officials notified U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for an immigration detainer.
