Water service restored to London apartment building owned by wanted man

London municipal officials say water is restored at Egerton Street apartment building owned by a man wanted in the U.S.

Water service has been restored to a London apartment building owned by a man wanted in the United States.

The building on Egerton Street is owned by Gareth West, accused of defrauding seniors out of millions of dollars through a grandparent scam. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

City staff received a complaint from tenants earlier this month and issued a property standards order. Officers have been working with the mortgage company to resolve the issue.

West owns another apartment building, located in St. Thomas. The building also had utilities shut off earlier this week due to unpaid bills.
