Arrest warrant issued in New Jersey for headstone company operator
Greg Stefan Jr. wanted: Arrest warrant issued in Vineland, New Jersey for headstone company operator

VINELAND, New Jersey (WPVI) -- An arrest warrant has been issued out of Vineland, New Jersey for an operator of a local headstone company. It's a story that the Action News Troubleshooters have been warning viewers about for years.



Authorities are searching for Greg Stefan Jr. who operates a family business that sells gravestones and engravings.



He ran a collection of these businesses in Pennsylvania until Action News Troubleshooter Nydia Han brought him to the attention of the Pennsylvania Attorney General. The Attorney General subsequently shut him down for taking consumers' money and not delivering on his services.



Over the years Ms. Han has repeatedly asked Mr. Stefan to respond to our viewers complaints.

The consumers we talked with have not seen any refunds.
