Martinia Heath, 43, has been arrested and facing multiple charges in connection to the scheme, which ran between 2019 and 2023, according to authorities.

In total, she pocketed more than $1 million.

Investigators say Heath falsified records and fabricated invoices while employed as the on-site property manager at the Mountain Club Condominium complex in Morris County. 

The alleged scheme, spanning five years, caused "significant financial losses for Corner Property Management of Springfield," according to a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office.

Heath was charged with: 

  • Second-degree theft by deception;
  • Second-degree impersonation;
  • Third- and fourth-degree forgery.

Her initial court appearance was scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 30 in Union County. 

The investigation into Heath's scheme is ongoing.
