Security officer caught red-handed

Healthcare Security Weekly, May 8, 2006

Police charged a Selinsgrove (PA) man with burglarizing Sunbury Community Hospital, the Daily Item reports.

After two reported burglaries with no signs of forced entry, police planted money laced with detection powder in a lockbox at the Geisinger Women's Clinic. The box was then placed into the secure cabinet where the previous theft occurred.

A surveillance tape revealed a security officer entering the office containing the cabinet after the money disappeared. A search of the security office revealed trace amounts of detection power, and the officer's activity log contained inconsistencies. After learning of the surveillance evidence, the officer confessed.
