The man and woman from Tennessee allegedly broke into the Warren County camp's gift shop in 2013.



Two people from Tennessee have been indicted on charges they stole $1,000 in change from a Warren County campground more than two years ago.


Courtney Sue L. Cain, 20, of Etowah, and John T. Dawson, 22, of Sweetwater, in December 2013 allegedly broke into the Camp Taylor gift shop in Knowlton Township and took four three-pound plastic coffee cans filled with nickels and quarters.


Cain and Dawson face charges of burglary, theft and conspiracy in the indictment this week by a Warren County grand jury.

The family owned and operated campground at 85 Mount Pleasant Road is about three miles east of the Delaware Water Gap and includes the Lakota Wolf Preserve.


The owners and New Jersey State Police found that surveillance cameras had spied the suspects, clearly illuminated by a campground soda machine as they stopped to get a beverage in the early morning hours.


"We were quite surprised we got a decent picture of them," owner Jean Taylor said last December, after Cain was charged. "The officer was pretty excited. He said we'll catch them in no time."

Taylor's husband Clayton said at the time that he was thankful the camp shop or its wares weren't damaged in the crime, and that those responsible would face charges and pay back what they took.


"We always want to keep some change handy," he said. "We found it was a little too handy."
