Cherry Hill Gas Scam Involved Moorestown Man, Police Say

Employees of a Cherry Hill dealership and a neighboring gas station conspired to profit off overcharges, police said.

A conspiracy between Winner Ford and Sunoco employees, including one man from Moorestown, 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.
