BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - The Bexar County Sheriff's Office warned residents on Tuesday about a contractor scam that has left multiple residents out of thousands of dollars.

The suspect, identified as Sergio Alejandro Morales-Villareal, is wanted for theft of property valued between $2,500 and $30,000, according to the sheriff's office.

Morales-Villareal allegedly collected "large upfront payments" from multiple households for electrical work and made repeated excuses for delays before he eventually stopped responding to clients altogether, the sheriff's office said.
