Goodyear Pharmacy Technician Charged With Theft

A State Grand Jury has indicted a Goodyear Pharmacy Technician, Robert Brian Kemple, for his alleged role in stealing hundreds of boxes of diabetic test strips.

Kemple, age 30, is charged with 33 criminal offenses for allegedly stealing over $100,000 of medical supplies at a CVS Pharmacy between March 2017 and September 2017. Investigators say Kemple would use his position to order diabetic test strips for the store and instead sell them online.

The June 2018 indictment was a collaborative effort between Goodyear Police and the Attorney General’s Office Health Care Fraud and Abuse Section. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office Health Care Fraud and Abuse Section was recently recognized as the number three ranked office in the nation for total indictments for health care fraud and abuse on a per employee basis.

All defendants are presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law.
