SAN BERNARDINO: Man accused of scams on elderly victims jailed

San Bernardino County district attorney’s investigators are looking for possible victims of a man being held on suspicion of elder abuse and burglary.
Arturo Carrillo Lozano, 50, is jailed at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, with bail set at $325,000, jail records indicate.
DA’s investigators say Lozano would offer to assist elderly people by doing odd jobs, especially construction work. He would ask to be paid up front. When he got the money he would either do substandard work or fail to complete or even start the work.
Investigators said Lozano operated in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties, and believe he took in other elderly people who have not come forward or been identified.
The DA’s office asks that anyone with information about Lozano’s activities or who believe they or someone they know were victimized by him call Senior Investigator Steve Rivera at 909-891-3530.
