FANWOOD, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- A payroll manager for a New Jersey pharmaceutical company was charged with stealing $900,000 over the span of five years, authorities announced Wednesday.
In August 2021, the business, which remains unnamed, reported to Union County Prosecutor William A. Daniel's office that its former human resources/payroll manager had stolen a large sum of money.
An investigation led to the arrest of 50-year-old Jennifer Grambor.
Grambor was charged with three counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree forgery, according to officials.
Detectives concluded that as payroll manager, Grambor had exclusive access to company finances and used her position to unlawfully issue payroll checks to herself and family members.
"More specifically, the company's forensic accountant discovered that, between 2016 and 2021, Jennifer Grambor stole in excess of $900,000 through various unlawful means," Daniel said in a statement.
Grambor's first court appearance is scheduled to take place on Aug. 31.
If convicted, Grambor faces up to 10 years in state prison.
