Blackwood Man Wanted in Gloucester County on Warrant

Yuuki Nemoto, 26, of the 100 block of Adrienne Avenue, Blackwood is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office on a warrant. 

Nemoto failed to appear in state Superior Court in Woodbury for a pre-arraignment interview on a charge of theft by unlawful taking, authorities said. 

Nemoto is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds and has black eyes and black hair. He has Japan and "Little Demon" tattooed on his abdomen and Japanese writing tattooed on his back. 

On Nov. 15, 2012 a Deptford police officer responded to Gordon’s Jewelers at Deptford Mall for a theft complaint. Loss prevention officers and store managers suspected a store employee of removing a display case and “gold box” items without authorization. Suspicions were raised when a gold purchaser contacted Gordon's Jewelers asking for Nemoto, a store employee. The caller said Nemoto had previously sold gold to her business. A store inventory check determined 26 items valued at a total of $19,332 were missing. The following day, Nemoto was observed entering a display case when no customers were present. A subsequent audit determined six jewelry pieces in the case had been replaced with costume jewelry. A criminal complaint was signed against Nemoto on Nov. 20, 2012. 

On March 6, 2013, a Gloucester County grand jury indicted Nemoto on a third-degree charge of theft by unlawful taking. 

Anyone who knows Nemoto's whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend him. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office at 856-384-5643 or Sgt. Barry Johnson of the prosecutor's office at 856-498-5485.
