Delaware State Police have arrested 58-year-old Dave Moncavage of Georgetown, Delaware for home improvement fraud.
Beginning in October of 2024, Troop 4 Financial Crimes Detectives began investigating Dave Moncavage for home improvement fraud who operated under the business name of Advanced Interiors. During the investigations, detectives learned that Moncavage had signed contracts with 2 victims to do construction work and received over $24,000 in payments. In both cases, Moncavage never completed these projects and detectives obtained warrants for his arrest.
On March 12, 2025, at approximately 2:59 p.m., a trooper on patrol saw a white Ford F-150 traveling southbound on Mount Zion Road near Sussex Highway in Seaford. The trooper saw that the truck had lost a load of material from the bed and pulled it over. The trooper contacted the driver, identified as Dave Moncavage, and a computer check revealed the home improvement warrants as well as capias warrants. He was taken into custody without incident and during a search of Moncavage and the truck, the trooper found drug paraphernalia.
Moncavage was taken to Troop 5, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
