@nbcnewyork: A New Jersey township says it lost approximately $26 million in a wire transfer theft involving funds intended to buy property for its affordable housing obligations. Investigators have frozen nearly $17.3 million in assets, but the remaining money is still unaccounted for. Cranbury Township, in Middlesex County, disclosed the theft in a statement posted Friday, Nov. 6. The incident occurred Sept. 28, 2026, according to the announcement from Mayor Lisa Knierim on behalf of the Township Committee. "We recognize that news of this magnitude will understandably raise questions and concerns among our residents. Those concerns are legitimate, and we take them seriously," wrote on the township's website.
