Police believe they found a man responsible for stealing thousands of dollars in appliances from a Dallas Township home. The victim’s daughter saw a stove for sale on Facebook Marketplace that matched what was taken from the home. She called police and setup a meeting as a buyer. Cops charged 33 year old Jerome Sharr of Wilkes Barre with receiving stolen property after finding the stolen goods in a storage unit.
