FREEHOLD – A 37-year-old Monmouth County woman has been accused of racking up more than $80,000 in personal charges on her former employer’s company-issued credit card — including a remodel of her own kitchen.

Nadine Hurd, of Long Branch, was charged with second-degree theft by unlawful taking, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond Santiago announced Monday.

Hurd had worked as the customer service and inventory manager for a Wall-based manufacturing company between 2018 and 2023, Santiago said.

A joint investigation involving the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Wall Township Police revealed that over the course of slightly more than five years, Hurd used her company credit card at more than 50 different retailers.

Hurd turned herself in on Friday, the prosecutor said.

She was released on a summons, pending proceedings in Monmouth County Superior Court.
