Woodbury Man Charged in Alleged Gas Scam in Cherry Hill
Employees of a Cherry Hill dealership and a neighboring gas station conspired to profit off overcharges, police said.
A conspiracy between employees of the Cherry Hill Winner Ford dealership and those of the Sunoco next door, including a Woodbury resident, cost the dealership more than $40,000 and resulted in five arrests, Cherry Hill Police announced.
Three employees of Winner and two employees of the neighboring Sunoco gas station on Haddonfield-Berlin Road were arrested and charged in the conspiracy, which police said had gone on for several years.
A lengthy investigation by Detective Jason Snyder uncovered the theft, after an audit showed signs of excessive billing, police said.
