A nurse was arrested Monday after police say she was caught
stealing COVID-19 vaccines from a Michigan convention center,
reports said.

An employee at Detroit's TCF Center claimed to have seen the
woman pocket two syringes of the Moderna vaccine, according to
city officials. The suspect was stopped before she made her way
out of the facility, reports said.

"I am really shocked. The access to vaccines that have come into
Michigan and into Southeast Michigan, it's not called for," said
Hakim Berry, the chief operating officer for the city, according
to FOX 2 of Detroit. "People can get a vaccine. We're constantly
opening up our levels for eligibility."

Berry said the nurse is likely affiliated with a staffing agency
that helps staff nurses at TCF, according to the station. She
could face charges and lose her nursing license.

He added that the vaccines are carefully guarded.

"Our vaccines are stored in a secured location," Berry told
Detroit's WDIV-TV. "Even when we deliver they are with a
security guard. We account for every syringe that we give out."

TCF Center is a designated vaccine distribution site for the
city of Detroit. At least 109,000 people have been vaccinated
there since Jan. 13, Berry said.

Despite the incident, officials said everyone who was scheduled
