CONCORD— A Derry man is accused of bilking 15 people out of more than $70,000 in a roofing and home repair scam in which police say he took customers' deposits and never completed or did the repairs.

Timothy J. Currier, 30, of 125 Windham Road, was indicted by a Merrimack County grand jury on a felony charge of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer.

Currier operated a roofing company, Green Home Energy Systems, LLC, in Bow, which also did other home repairs, such as installing replacement windows and doors.

According to the indictment, Stephen Benoit gave Currier $10,000 as a down payment on a new roof, but Currier never did the work and never returned the money. Connie Belliveau paid $1,572 to have the fascia soffit on her roof repaired, but the work was never done and Currier allegedly kept the money.

Others bilked out of their deposits in the scam, according to the indictment, included Richard and Erica Buteau, $9,000 for new windows and a door; Gary Durand, $8,425 for a new roof; Bruce Ingalls, $8,200, new roof; William Ingalls, $5,500, new roof; Glen and Lorri Kimball, $6,000, new roof; Barbara Levasseur, $300, new roof; Karen McCarthy, $1,190, new roof; Thomas Michaud and Virginia Eastman, $5,000, new roof; Michele Moreau, $3,000, new roof; Ruth Roche, $12,000, roof and replacement of fascia boards.

In August, the Attorney General's Office filed suit in Merrimack County Superior Court and obtained attachments against Currier and his company after the office received numerous consumer complaints about the business.
