Paramedic stole 132 times from Plymouth Township Home Depot, police say

Police in Plymouth Township are investigating after a man -- a former paramedic at a local ambulance company, officials said -- was arrested on Friday, last week, after he had been accused of stealing from a Home Depot in the township as many as 132 times.

According to police, on Friday, Jason Davis, 42, of Conshohocken, surrendered to officials after being charged with more than 130 thefts from a Home Depot store along Alan Wood Road, as well as corruption of minors, as he is alleged to have brought children with him at least five times during the alleged commission of crimes.

Officials said Davis, allegedly, operated a "ticket-switching" scheme in which he would change prices of expensive items with those of cheaper goods. He also stole items by neglecting to scan them when using self-checkout registers, police said.

And, in at least five instances, police said, Davis brought underaged children along with him as he, allegedly, committed these thefts.

At time, police said, Davis stole from the Home Depot while wearing his official uniform for an ambulance company where he was employed as a paramedic. Davis worked at Lower Providence Ambulance which confirmed that he no longer works there after the charges were filed.

Police believe that, since July of 2023, Davis conducted this theft scheme 132 times and stole more than $20,000 in merchandise from the store.

Police say cameras captured Davis loading the merchandise in his pick-up truck in the parking lot. The supplies he rang up was linked to credit cards belonging to Davis and his wife.

Davis was arrested and is expected to appear in court on April 16.
