WARREN, Ohio - Police are investigating a claim that thousands of dollars have been stolen from a Warren dentist office.

Dr, George C. Ploumbis filed a police report alleging that $36,676 was taken from his East Market Street business sometime between August 15 of last year and April 19 of this year.

Ploumbis says he determined the loss through an audit conducted on his business.

The dentist tells police that he suspects that a former employee is responsible for the missing money.

No charges have been filed and no one has been arrested.
