FOLSOM – A Northern California man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical equipment from a Folsom hospital.

The Folsom Police Department says they've been investigating the case since March 2022.

With the help of the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office and the Franchise Tax Board, investigators discovered that over $700,000 in medical products and equipment had been embezzled.

A warrant was issued against the employee, identified as 33-year-old Redding resident Branden Vandersys, and he was arrested in Redding on Jan. 25. He has since been extradited back to Sacramento County.
