The Cape Coral Police Department’s Property Crimes Unit has identified an additional victim connected to Donald Lee Claybaugh (DOB 12/28/1966), who was arrested earlier this week for stealing jewelry from a home he was hired to clean and pawning the items for cash.
On May 19, 2026, officers responded to a report of a past theft in Southeast Cape Coral. The victim reported that between May 2024 and February 2025, Claybaugh, who had been hired to clean the home, stole cash from a bedroom. The victim later confirmed the theft after marking currency and confronting Claybaugh.
Claybaugh has since been charged with Grand Theft and remains in custody at the Lee County Jail.
Anyone who believes they may have been victimized by Claybaugh is asked to call the Cape Coral Police Department and file a report at 239-574-3223.
