SNELLVILLE, GA (WXIA) — Georgia police are searching for a suspect they believe may be behind several recent pharmacy burglaries.
Security footage of the most recent robbery shows a man using a sledgehammer to break into the Eastside Family Pharmacy in Snellville.
The thief had to stay low, slithering around on the floor inside to avoid the motion detectors, so he couldn’t get anything high on the shelves. But he did get away with about $12,000 in Schedule 2 narcotics.
“You not only hurt us, but you hurt cancer patients,” Eastside Family Pharmacy owner Michele Dalton said. “You hurt sickle cell patients. You hurt injured patients by your greed. That’s not OK.”
Police say they are certain this guy has done it before. At least six other pharmacies were robbed in the same week.
The latest pharmacy is hoping their insurance company picks up the rest so no one has to go without a medication they need.What others are clicking on:
