WILLINGBORO, NJ — A Pennsylvania man took hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment from the Burlington County company he worked for and sold it for his own gain, officials said.

Officials say Brian Myslinski of Levittown stole $866,834 worth of specialized merchandise from his Willingboro-based employer, which he then resold. He used the proceeds to pay off debts, buy cars, and go on vacation, officials allege.

Myslinski surrendered Tuesday at the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, said prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw.

Myslinski "used his knowledge of and access to the company’s internal systems to steal $866,834 worth of specialized merchandise, which he then sold directly to customers as well as through online platforms such as eBay," Bradshaw's office said.

"The investigation further revealed that Myslinski used more than $120,000 of the proceeds from the illegal sales to cover sports gambling debts, and also spent $50,000 on a 1974 Dodge Charger classic car, $20,000 on another vehicle, funded a vacation to Jamaica, and bought Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags and purses, among other high-end items," officials said.

Myslinski was released following an appearance in Superior Court and the case will be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment, Bradshaw said.
