DETROIT (AP) - A woman whom city officials described as a nurse has been charged in the theft of COVID-19 vaccines from a downtown Detroit convention center where mass vaccinations are taking place.
Saeedeh Elahi, 41, of Livonia, a Detroit suburb, faced arraignment on one count of larceny in a building, the Wayne County prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Two syringes filled with the Moderna vaccine and two vaccination cards were taken Monday afternoon, the prosecutor's office said.
The statement did not say Elahi works as a nurse, but city officials earlier said a nurse staffing COVID-19 vaccinations at the TCF Center was detained by police on suspicion of stealing two doses of the vaccine. The woman was stopped after another staff member at the TCF Center saw her take two syringes, Detroit Chief Operating Officer Hakim Berry said.
The nurse is employed by a firm that contracts with the city. No one missed getting vaccinated, Berry added.
