A local contractor is facing Grand Larceny charges after allegedly stealing more than $5,000 from an elderly New Hartford resident.

New Hartford Police say Frankfort resident James Jewett, owner of Jewett Home Improvement agreed to do a roofing job for the man and after taking the $5,050 deposit, never returned to complete the work.

Jewett now awaits further action by an Oneida County Grand Jury.
