NJ driver of the dead allegedly steals credit cards, personal belongings from bodies he took to morgue, prosecutors in New Jersey say
Kevin Thomas Jr., of Sayreville, worked as a driver for a company that transports people to the morgue after they have died, and used that position to gain access to their belongings, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office. The 43-year-old allegedly took credit cards, wallets and other possessions from people as he brought the bodies in.
Thomas Jr. then used the stolen credit cards to buy plane tickets, groceries, movie tickets and other items at businesses throughout Middlesex County, the prosecutor's office said. He was arrested Tuesday following an investigation by Milltown Police and the prosecutor's office, and charged with credit card theft, identity theft, possession of prescription drugs without a prescription and possession of a credit card without consent.
