MOUNT OLIVE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Morris County) — Two men from Port Jervis, New York, were arrested last week after police said they were found driving a stolen U-Haul truck on Route 206 in Mount Olive Township.
According to police, the incident occurred around 6:08 p.m. on Nov. 7 when an officer on patrol noticed a U-Haul truck stopped at an intersection on Route 206. A computer check revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Police conducted a traffic stop near International Drive and identified the driver as William C. Ford, 55, and the passenger as James H. Ford, 55, both of Port Jervis.
Through the investigation, police determined that James Ford had rented the U-Haul on Aug. 3, 2024, but failed to return it. Both men were arrested and taken to police headquarters, where they were charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle.
The two were later released pending a court hearing.
