Windsor police have issued an arrest warrant for a contractor wanted in connection with a $155,000 home renovation fraud that allegedly left an Amherstburg home unlivable. In early October, members of the Windsor Police’s Amherstburg Criminal Investigations Unit began an investigation after receiving a report that a contractor had collected deposits for home renovation work that was never completed. Police say the investigation determined that Jessie Flaricee, 41, operating as MBS Home Solutions, collected approximately $155,000 from a homeowner under the pretence of completing renovations. During the course of the work, police say the Town of Amherstburg advised the homeowner to stop further construction on the house. Police say the residence was reportedly left in an uninhabitable condition. Investigators say they learned that MBS Home Solutions was dissolved for non-compliance in November 2024. An arrest warrant has been issued for Flaricee on the following charges: • Fraud over $5,000 • Obtaining funds by false pretences over $5,000 • Uttering a forged document Flaricee is describe as a black male, approximately 5’10” tall and 200 lbs., with a medium build and facial hair. Anyone with information on Flaricee’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Division – Amherstburg Detachment at 519-736-8559, ext. 230.
