In January, Detectives from the Financial Crimes Unit of our Criminal Investigation Division began a Fraud investigation into an individual operating a local contracting business, Enhanced Pools and Spas.

Between March 2021 and October 2022, a community member paid close to $60,000 for the installation of a pool, however, the job was never completed, and the contractor stated that he had no intention of completing the project despite already receiving the funds outlined in the contract. As a result, the community member had to pay an additional $45,000 to have another business complete the job causing significant financial loss to the homeowner.

Based on the investigation, 46-year-old, Daniel Dumontelle has been charged with Fraud Over $5,000 under the Criminal Code of Canada. He will appear in court on April 3, 2024.

It should be noted that Daniel Dumontelle is currently before the court in relation to two additional Fraud Over $5,000 investigations of a similar nature that occurred between March 2021 and October 2022. Based on this information, there is a potential that there may be additional community members who have yet to come forward.

Anyone with information related to this individual or the business previously mentioned is asked to call police at 705-675-9171.
