(SUFFOLK COUNTY, N.Y.) – Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney today announced that Sharon Blinn, 65, of Hauppauge, was indicted for Grand Larceny in the First Degree, for allegedly stealing over one million dollars from her employer.
“Simply put, greed drove this defendant’s alleged theft of more than a million dollars from her employer,” said District Attorney Tierney. “This individual allegedly took advantage of her position of trust with the company and over the course of several years siphoned off thousands of dollars, week by week. Because of the diligent collaborative work of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Financial Crimes Unit and my office, we were able to uncover her alleged deception and hold her accountable.”
According to the investigation, from November 2020 to August 2025, Blinn was working as the office manager for a Holbrook corporation. During that time, she allegedly stole over one million dollars by increasing her pay above what she was entitled to in her paychecks, without permission from her employer.
On March 20, 2026, Blinn was arraigned on the indictment before Supreme Court Justice John B. Collins for one count of Grand Larceny in the First Degree, a Class B felony. Justice Collins ordered Blinn held on $25,000 cash, $250,000 bond or $250,000 partially secured bond during the pendency of the case.
Blinn is due back in court on April 24, 2026, and faces up to 8 ⅓ to 25 years in prison if convicted. She is being represented by Joseph Hanshe, Esq.
This investigation was conducted by Assistant District Attorney James Bartens of the Financial Crimes Bureau, Investigative Auditor Carlos Gutama, and Detective Michael Sheehan of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Financial Crimes Unit.
