On October 1, 2024, the Pocono Township Police Department took a report of a theft by deception. The victim in this matter, a Pocono Township resident, reported that they had entered into an agreement to purchase a tractor trailer via a Facebook Marketplace post. The victim traveled to a truck stop in New Jersey and met with Darin T. Johnson Jr., a 39-year-old male from Wilmington, Delaware. Johnson showed the trailer to the victim and sold it as if he was the owner. The transaction was eventually completed and Johnson provided a title and bill of sale. Upon attempting to register the trailer, the victim discovered that the trailer was not owned by Johnson and that the title was counterfeit.

A subsequent investigation discovered that the trailer was stolen from a warehouse in New Jersey and transported to the truck stop. However, the owner's of the trailer were not aware that it had been stolen. Johnson was identified as the suspect who arranged and completed the transaction with the victim. A felony warrant was issued for Johnson's arrest.

Anyone with information pertaining to the whereabouts of the suspect, Darin T. Johnson Jr., is asked to contact the Pocono Township Police Department at (570)629-7200 or submit a tip below.
