DURHAM -- Charges have been laid against a Durham contractor accused of taking money for home renovations that weren't completed.
Durham police launched an investigation last June after a Whitby homeowner reported providing cash to Gem Painting Renovations Inc. for work that was begun but never finished. The investigation revealed other cases in which it's alleged a contractor took money for jobs and never returned to complete them, police said.
Gary Corey, 44, of Makin Court in Ajax, faces fraud charges. An investigation continues and police believe frauds were perpetrated in Durham and beyond.
