Ex-Surgical Technician Allegedly Swindles Hospital of $2.5M Worth of Medical Supplies
A former surgical technician, Marci M. Staub, 44, has been accused of stealing and reselling medical supplies valued at $2.5 million from Cooper University Health Care, New Jersey. The supplies were allegedly resold in South Carolina, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.
Staub is charged with theft, receiving stolen property, distribution of prescription drugs, and impersonating a representative of a medical organization. Prosecutors claim financial records indicate Staub has received more than $427,000 from the resale of the items.
The theft was noted when the hospital discovered a significant quantity of Medtronic Infuse bone graft devices and other supplies missing. There was a discrepancy between the inventory and the documented number of products recorded as used.
Cooper University Health Care is actively cooperating with the investigation. In an issued statement, the hospital noted, “We actively investigated this incident and reported it to law enforcement as soon as it was discovered, terminated the employee, and continue to cooperate with the investigation. Theft or any violation of the law will not be tolerated at Cooper.”
Prosecutors disclosed that the hospital was refilling orders for the devices more frequently from December 2024 through July, despite no increase in patient care to account for the extra usage.
During the investigation, detectives reviewed surveillance footage from November to December 2025, showing Staub arriving at work with an empty bag and leaving with it filled with supplies. In December, the Camden County Sheriff’s Office caught Staub leaving the hospital with medical supplies.
Staub has since been discharged and is currently in custody at the Camden County Correctional Facility. Her legal representation status remains unclear.
