Abington Woman Charged with Stealing $25K from Doctor’s Office

According to a report in the Pottstown Mercury, Megan Galo, 47, of the 1900 block of Moreland Road, Abington, waived her preliminary hearing on felony charges of theft in connection with alleged incidents that occurred between January and July.

According to the report, an investigation began last month when East Norriton police responded to the Center for Advanced Orthopedics, in the 700 block of West Germantown Pike, for a report of a theft. A doctor reported Galo, an office manager, stole cash deposits totaling about $25,000 between Jan. 1 and July 9, according to the arrest affidavit. Galo allegedly did not return deposit receipts to the biller for cash or checks after repeated requests for them, the story continued. 

Galo will be formally arraigned on Sept. 12 at 9:30 a.m.

Galo faces a possible maximum sentence of 14-28 years in prison if she’s convicted, according to the story; she does not appear to have a criminal history.
