FANWOOD – A borough woman is accused of stealing more than $900,000 from a pharmaceutical company where she formerly worked as the human resources and payroll manager, according to the Union County Prosecutor’s Office.

In August 2021, a local pharmaceutical company notified the Union County Prosecutor’s Office that its former human resources and payroll manager had allegedly stolen a large amount of company funds, according to the Prosecutor’s Office. The company’s forensic accountant discovered that between 2016 and 2021, Grambor allegedly stole more than $900,000 through various unlawful means, the Prosecutor’s Office said.
An investigation by Detective Lopez determined Grambor, as payroll manager, had exclusive access to company finances and used her position to unlawfully issue payroll checks to herself and family members, the Prosecutor’s Office said.This investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Lopez at 908-527-4933.
