A 44-year-old Galloway Township woman has been charged with stealing $2.5 million worth of medical supplies from the Camden hospital where she worked, and then selling the items for personal profit. Prosecutors say Marci M. Staub was caught on surveillance footage leaving the hospital with filled bags, and she allegedly impersonated a medical supply vendor to sell the stolen goods.

Why it matters

This case highlights the growing problem of insider theft and fraud within the healthcare industry, where employees with access to valuable medical equipment and supplies can abuse that trust for financial gain. It also raises concerns about the security measures hospitals have in place to prevent such large-scale thefts from occurring.

The details

According to prosecutors, Staub's theft scheme was uncovered when hospital officials noticed a significant increase in orders for certain medical products, even though actual usage and inventory did not match up. An investigation found that Staub would arrive at work with an empty bag and leave with it filled, and she had received over $427,000 in payments from a South Carolina medical supply company for the stolen goods.

  • In December 2025, Staub was stopped by hospital security as she attempted to leave with medical supplies, and her employment was terminated at that time.
  • The six-month investigation by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit led to Staub's charges being filed in April 2026.
