WESTBROOK A defendant was indicted after the Westbrook Police Department submitted a major home repair fraud case to the Cumberland County Grand Jury after a protracted investigation that involved several victims.
After that, an arrest warrant was issued.
Timothy Galvez, 33, of Portland, was taken into custody by Westbrook police officers this week on a felony arrest warrant.
The home repair fraud scheme, according to investigators, has been going on for a number of years.
At least 14 victims have been identified by officers thus far, and their combined financial losses reach several hundred thousand dollars.
