The treasurer for the Mays Landing Fire Department was charged with theft Tuesday after he allegedly stole $17,000 from the organization, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.

Matthew C. Robison Jr., 28, of Mays Landing, was released on a summons pending court.

An investigation launched Aug. 7 revealed Robison Jr. transferred, withdrew and spent money from the organization's bank accounts for personal use between January 2024 and the beginning of this year, the Prosecutor's Office said in a news release.

Robison Jr. also allegedly altered purchase descriptions and deleted the debit lines from QuickBooks before submitting the reconciliation reports for tax purposes, the Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday.
