Police are charging a local woman with stealing over $100,000 from a non-profit EMS service in Dauphin County.

Court documents show she stole the money over a four year period using a company credit card.

South Central Emergency Medical Services says that one of their employees who retired last April continuously stole money from the company using a credit card. It was discovered when the CEO of the company looked over the financial records and saw that something didn't add up.

45-year-old Virginia Stapf of Lewisburg retired from her position as an administrator for South Central Emergency Medical Services in April after police say she stole more than $120,000. State Police arrested Stauf on

January 11 for charges including theft and unlawful use of a computer.

Stapf hid the thefts by making it look like they were part of equipment purchases. The thefts were only discovered after CEO Jason Campbell looked over financial records and found the missing money.

He told CBS 21 that Stapf used the credit card to pay for everything from shoes to her taxes but never charged more than $4,000 at a time.

South Central Emergency Medical Services released a statement saying, "This act of dishonesty has not nor will it enable or hinder the ability of South Central EMS. South Central EMS is and continues to be one of the most profitable and successful independent EMS organizations throughout the region."

The insurance company has covered the lost money but South Central EMS says they want Stapf prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

A preliminary hearing is set for March 11.
