John S. Litzner, age 43, of 1205 Sequoia Road, Cherry Hill was indicted on one count of theft by failure to make required disposition of property received (third degree) and one count of failure to register as a home improvement contractor (fourth degree). Doing business as Imperial Kitchens and Flooring, Litzner was paid a deposit of $1,400 by a Medford resident in September 2010 for the installation of kitchen cabinets, according to the Burlington County prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor also alleges Litzner performed no work and refused to refund the money.
“Standing up for those who are scammed by unscrupulous contractors will continue to be one of the priorities of this office,” Prosecutor Bernardi said. “Those seeking services from contractors should always check references and speak with previous customers to make sure the person being considered for hire is legitimate, trustworthy and capable of performing quality work.”
Litzner is out of custody on $10,000 bail. The investigation was conducted by the Medford Township Police Department and the Burlington County prosecutor’s office.
