Published:

A trucker is facing charges after a motorist reported him concealing his license plate to avoid paying tolls. 

The motorist contacted Pennsylvania State Police back in December 2024. The trucker is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on March 3rd near Newville, Pennsylvania. 

According to ABC 27, a witness on the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the Harrisburg East Interchange at exit 247 noticed a commercial vehicle activate a device to conceal its license plate before passing through the toll collection area. The license plate then came back into view after the vehicle passed through the booth. 

The motorist obtained video of the incident, which they showed to police. The video helped officers to locate the semi truck. 

Truck driver Riley Zurin of Zurin Trucking LLC has been charged with fare evasions and theft of services. He is also facing several other summary offenses. 

The exact device used to conceal the license plate from toll readers has not been disclosed.
