Car Thieves Arrested, Worked in 3 Towns, Police Say

Two men who stole cars from Cherry Hill, Collingswood and Pennsauken have been arrested and charged in the thefts, police from the three towns announced.

Charles W. Jackmon, 32, of Voorhees, and Ronald K. Smith, 48, of Clayton, stole six cars over a period of two months, police said, using a flatbed tow truck to grab cars from parking lots at businesses and several residential areas.

All six cars were inoperable, police said, and were sold for scrap at auto recycling yards and metal companies around South Jersey.

Both Jackmon and Smith were charged with auto theft and released on summonses pending an appearance in Superior Court in Camden.
