The search for a Kittanning man wanted for fraud charges dating back to last year is still on-going.
State police say 34-year-old Matthew James Wilson was charged with two felony counts of home improvement fraud and one felony count of theft by deception following an investigation on July 10, 2023.
A member of the Troop A barracks investigated an incident of theft in Burrell Township after a 55-year-old woman said she saw an advertisement for Nxt Gen Electrical Services, LLC., and met with the owner, later identified as Wilson, regarding her interest in purchasing a backup generator at her home. Once a verbal agreement was reached, the woman allegedly paid Wilson $6,000 in cash for the purchase and installation, but he did not follow through on that agreement and reportedly did not respond when she contacted him.
If you have information on Wilson’s whereabouts, call state police at 724-357-1960 or call 911.
