Former Galloway Rec Department Worker Pleads Guilty To Theft

MAYS LANDING, NJ - A former employee in the Galloway Township Recreation Department has pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $7,000 in camper fees, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner said.

Jennifer Diluzio pleaded guilty to a charge of third degree theft before Judge John R. Rauh earlier this week.

One of her job duties was to process applications and collect fees from residents who were sending their children to summer camp in 2017. Instead of depositing the fees, she took the money, Tyner said.

Diluzio must pay back $6,957 in restitution, forfeit her public employment job and be subject to probation, Tyner said.

She will be sentenced on Jan. 5, 2018.

This was a joint investigation by the Galloway Township Police Department and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Official Corruption Unit, Tyner said.
