Martin County Bookkeeper Sought on Multi-Count HOA Embezzlement Warrant

The case could raise HOA fees for residents if boards cannot recover the losses.

Overview

  • The sheriff’s office issued a warrant charging Alexandra Delacaridad Gonzalez with fraud, grand theft, uttering false instruments and embezzlement, and set bond at $1.35 million.
  • Investigators say she wrote checks to herself from HOA accounts she handled at Avant-Garde Property Management and hid them with fake invoices, false ledgers and forged signatures.
  • Two associations are confirmed as victims: Whitemarsh Reserve in Stuart and The Dunes of Hutchinson Island.
  • Subpoenaed records show the missing money paid for shopping, travel, cosmetic surgery and a wedding.
  • Deputies say she is not in custody and may be in Miramar or Vero Beach, and they are seeking tips and possible additional HOA victims.
