Pool Company Owner Accused of Stealing from Jersey Shore Customers

The owner of a pool maintenance company is accused of stealing $32,000 worth of pool equipment from 39 customers in a dozen communities in Ocean and Monmouth Counties, according to authorities.

Maple Shade resident, Michael Kolwicz, 44, owner of Mike's Custom Pools, allegedly swiped 31 Polaris pool cleaners, 24 pool filters, and pool and spa covers, according to Eatontown police.

The investigation was prompted after an Eatontown resident filed a complaint on May 28th about items missing from his pool, after hiring Mike's Custom Pools to close the home's pool in the fall of 2014, according to NJ.com.

Police said additional charges against Kolwicz from various communities are still pending.
