BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Leaders at Jericho Road, a local health center, are angry and saddened after learning a former employee has been arrested for a potential theft.
"He is someone I'd known in the community," said Dr. Myron Glick, Founder and CEO of Jericho Road. "It's personal, not just because of my role in leading Jericho, because this is a family who in some ways grew up at Jericho."
The alleged theft occurred over the past three months, according to Jericho Road leaders.
"After an internal investigation, our team notified law enforcement and financial institutions of what seemed to be financial malfeasance. And today, one of our former employees was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigations," said Glick.
The employee was hired in October of 2023.
"It's a good lesson to understand the world in which we live and to be cautious," said Glick.
While $600,000 is a lot of money, Glick says this will not impact the work they do and that all donations are secure.
The team is now putting policies in place to make sure this doesn't happen again.
