According to Morris County law enforcement, the suspect worked as the bookkeeper for Haas Laser Technologies, an industrial laser company in the Flanders section of Mount Olive, NJ.

On February 4, the owners of the laser company contacted the Mount Olive Police Department and said that the suspect had embezzled funds and deposited company checks into a personal bank account with Capital One bank.

Law enforcement investigated the fraud allegations and spoke with the suspect. Police eventually determined that the suspect may have taken up to $225K from the company.

The 42-year-old suspect, who hails from Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with numerous theft and fraud offenses, including theft of movable property, theft by deception, and forgery.
