Local and area residents are urged to beware of this man: MARTIN EREVIA, a local so-called remodeling and construction handyman who preys on unsuspecting residents with promises of remodeling and misc. odd construction jobs.

MARTIN EREVIA has a long history of defrauding residents after receiving payment for such jobs.

In 2007, the Sweeny Police Department filed a Second Degree Felony Theft charge against MARTIN EREVIA.  In the case, eight victims came forward claiming theft and fraud totaling over $194,000.00 in losses.  MARTIN EREVIA was subsequently convicted and is currently on Felony Probation.

If you or someone you know has been defrauded by MARTIN EREVIA since 2008, please contact the Sweeny Police Department at 979-548-3111 or e-mail us at tips@sweenypolice.org.
