Montgomery County Kitchen Remodeling Company Owner Faces Deceptive Business Charges

A two-month investigation into the business practices of a Montgomery County businessman resulted in his arrest.

Hatfield Township police announced fraud charges Monday against Jose Javier Cruz, owner of Bentley Surfaces, LLC along Bethlehem Pike.

Bentley Surfaces specializes "in in stone countertops, we carry solid wood cabinets and hardwood flooring," according to the company’s website. "We also do full home remodels! You name it, and we make it happen!"

Police didn’t reveal the exact accusations that led them to investigate Cruz. A county judge arraigned the 34-year-old business owner on 12 counts Monday morning including deceptive business practices, writing bad checks and theft by deception.

No one answered the phone number listed for Bentley Surfaces Monday afternoon.

Cruz remained jailed midday Monday unable to post $30,000 bail, according to court records. The Lansdale, Pennsylvania man faces an Oct. 4 preliminary hearing.

Investigators asked anyone else who may have been victimized by Cruz’s "deceptive business practices," to call detectives at 215-855-0903.
