CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) – A former surgical technician at Cooper University Hospital is accused of stealing millions of dollars of medical supplies.
The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office says 44-year-old Marci M. Staub, of Galloway, N.J., was charged last week with theft, receiving stolen property, distribution of prescription legend drugs, and impersonation of a representative of a medical organization.
The prosecutor’s office says its six-month investigation started in early October 2025, when representatives with Cooper University Hospital reported stolen medical supplies.
They were specifically concerned about a product called ‘Infuse.’ The product, which is stocked and supplied by Medtronic, is a genetically-engineered bone tissue used in bone graft surgeries.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by Action News, from December 2024 to July 2025, “the number of orders for Infuse significantly increased but the usage at Cooper University Hospital did not increase.”
The hospital told investigators it wasn’t able to account for $2.5 million worth of the medical product.
Then, in December of last year, hospital security, along with the Camden County Sheriff’s Department, detained Staub for attempting to leave the hospital with medical supplies.
According to investigators, Staub said “she kept the same supplies on her to be prepared for future surgeries due to Cooper University Hospital being unable to keep stock of several products.”
But, surveillance video showed her arriving to work with an empty bag and leaving with it full.
Investigators also learned she was completing sales to a medical supply company in South Carolina. The criminal complaint said she received more than $427,000 in payments from the company.
The criminal complaint also states Staub “was impersonating a medical supply vendor and selling the stolen Infuse products from Cooper University Hospital among several other medical supply products for profit.”
A representative from Cooper University Hospital released this statement Monday night:
“As this is an active criminal investigation, Cooper University Health Care cannot comment beyond that 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.”
Action News went to Staub’s home in Galloway for a comment, but no one answered the door.
