Galloway Township Office Manager Indicted

The office manager at a Galloway Township business has been indicted for theft. 49 year old Suzanne Conover of Brigantine, was indicted on one count of second- degree Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition by an Atlantic County Grand Jury on Wednesday. Investigation into the theft arose when an office assistant at Giegerich Orthodontics in Galloway
Township noticed discrepancies in a patient’s billing file. The head of the practice subsequently
notified law enforcement who began a criminal investigation.
That investigation found that Conover, who was employed as the practice’s office manager for
approximately 10 years, took cash payments made by patients and converting the money to her
own use. Specifically, Conover would accept cash payments from patients and mask the fact by reflecting
either a credit card or check payment in the ledger. She would then deposit the cash into her
personal account, primarily at a local ATM during the work-day. During the continuing course of
these thefts Conover is estimated to have stolen $109,000 in total.
