Burglars strike Enid pharmacy

By Cass Rains Staff Writer

Enid police are investigating another burglary at an Enid pharmacy in which painkillers and other prescription drugs were stolen.

Police received a report Tuesday morning of a burglary to Family Pharmacy, 915 E. Garriott, that occurred sometime between 6 p.m. Monday and 7:28 a.m. Tuesday.

According to police, the suspect shattered the south door on the building, gaining access to the “common area” of Enid Health Center. Once inside the common area, the suspect shattered a window on the east side of Family Pharmacy. Once inside the pharmacy the suspect stole a large amount of Oxycontin, Hydrocodone and Zanex.

“The business is still conducting a complete inventory to determine exactly what was stolen,” Enid Police De-partment Capt. Dean Gras-sino said.

Police have made no arrests and there are no suspects.

A similar burglary oc-curred Dec. 7 at Evan’s Pharmacy, 110 N. Oakwood, when six boxes of Fentanyl patches and a bottle of Oxycodone, both commonly abused prescription pain killers, were reported missing.

Anyone having information that will lead to an arrest or prosecution is asked to call Garfield County Crime Stoppers at 233-6233 or Enid Police Department at 242-7000. Callers can earn up to a $1,000 reward and will not be required to testify or be identified.
