NJ Hospital Worker Charged With Stealing $2.5M In Medical Supplies: Prosecutor

CAMDEN, NJ — A former surgical technician at Cooper University Hospital was charged with stealing around $2.5 million in medical supplies, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said on Monday.

Marci M. Staub, 44, of Galloway, is charged with second-degree theft, second-degree receiving stolen property, second-degree distribution of prescription legend drugs, and second-degree impersonation of a representative of a medical organization.

On Oct. 2, 2025, the hospital reported that a large amount of Medtronic Infuse bone graft machines and other supplies were missing from their supply room.

The number of orders for devices also significantly rose from December 2024 through July 2025, while using roughly the same amount of products.

The hospital's supply also did not match the amount of products that were recorded as used.

In December 2025, the Camden County Sheriff's Office and hospital security detained Staub as she tried to leave with more supplies.

She was then fired.

Detectives reviewed surveillance video from November to December 2025 and found her coming to work with an empty bag and leaving with it filled.

Financial records also showed that Staub was selling items to a medical supply business and had been given $427,000 in payments.

According to authorities, Staub was impersonating a medical supply vendor as she sold the devices and supplies to the business based in South Carolina.

After being detained, Staub was taken to the Camden County Correctional Facility.

Anyone with information is asked to contact 856-225-8642.
