Claymont Apartment Complex Fraud Investigation Leads to Arrest

New Castle County police have taken a suspect into custody on charges of forgery and theft following an investigation into fraudulent activity at a Claymont apartment community.

Starting in March 2026, law enforcement officers from the New Castle County Division of Police received numerous fraud complaints from residents at The Edge at Greentree apartment complex located in the 19703 area. Multiple tenants contacted authorities after being informed by management that their monthly rent payments had not been received, even though the residents had already made their payments.

Police continued their investigation into the suspicious pattern of missing rent payments at the apartment community.
