One Paratransit Services employee has been put on administrative leave as a result. The locks have been changed at 317 Main St. and the company's computer system is in lockdown, said Stephen O'Neil, WRTA administrator.
The company said its insurance policy will cover losses resulting from the theft and that the Worcester police department has been notified.
