Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi, New Jersey Treasurer John E. McCormac and Cherry Hill Police Chief Brian Malloy announced that Jeffre and Cynthia Levy, of Henfield Avenue in Cherry Hill, were charged today with Theft and violations of state tax law. They are accused of keeping more than $150,000 in sales and income tax proceeds from their janitorial companies and failing to forward the money to the state as required.

Criminal complaints allege that between Jan. 1, 1994, and Dec. 31, 2001, the defendants failed to pay state income taxes they withheld from employees and sales taxes they collected from customers of their companies - Executive Maintenance Co., Executive Maintenance Inc. and Executive Maintenance Industries Inc. The companies, all based in Cherry Hill, were owned either by Jeffre, M/41, by Cynthia, F/47, or by both. The defendants currently own and operate Scarlet Facilities Maintenance LLC, also of Cherry Hill.

The Levys face two second-degree charges, each carrying a maximum 10 years in New Jersey State Prison upon conviction, and one third-degree charge, carrying a maximum five-year term.

Sarubbi thanked the state Division of Taxation's Office of Criminal Investigation for assisting in the investigation.

The defendants, accompanied by their attorney, Adam Malamut, turned themselves in today at Cherry Hill Police headquarters. They were released on summonses.

All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
