Halton police arrest home builder for failing to fulfill agreements

Halton police have arrested a Mississauga man in relation to a fraud investigation involving tiny homes.

Officers received several reports of victims making down payments to a business called Little Creek Homes for houses that were never followed through.

Police say several victims from across Ontario were identified, some of whom had lost over $200,000.

Potential buyers were defrauded of down payments and even full purchase prices for homes that were not provided.
