Surgical Technician Stole $2.5 Million in Medical Supplies From New Jersey Hospital, Officials Say
Prosecutors say Marci M. Staub received more than $427,000 after impersonating a vendor and selling stolen devices to a South Carolina buyer.
- On Monday, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office charged 44-year-old Marci M. Staub, a former surgical technician at Cooper University Hospital, with stealing approximately $2.5 million in medical supplies and selling them for profit.
- Hospital officials discovered the discrepancy in October 2025 after noticing orders for Medtronic Infuse bone graft devices had "significantly risen" from December 2024 to July 2025, despite stable usage rates triggering the investigation.
- Detectives allege Staub impersonated a medical supply vendor to sell stolen goods to a South Carolina wholesaler, receiving more than $427,000 in payments; surveillance footage showed her arriving with empty bags and leaving filled.
- Following her detention in December 2025, Cooper University Hospital terminated Staub, and she is currently held at the Camden County Correctional Facility facing second-degree theft and impersonation charges.
- Cooper University Health Care confirmed it is cooperating with the ongoing investigation, while authorities ask anyone with information to contact Detective Kristen Blantz of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit.
