HARDIN CO.— Authorities have confirmed there was a break-in at the Hardin County Discount Pharmacy in Rosiclare.
“It appears they were after drugs,” Hardin County sheriff JT Fricker told Disclosure.
NOT the pharmacy in question…just a generic image
Fricker said the break-in took place sometime after midnight, Thursday, May 16.
“It was an employee who came to work on Friday morning and found that someone had thrown something through a window to gain entry,” Fricker said.
The sheriff said the only thing taken was hydrocodone.
When asked, Fricker said he was not prepared to discuss any potential evidence gleaned from surveillance cameras located at the pharmacy.
He did confirm that Illinois State Police Crime Scene Technicians were called to process the scene for evidence.
“We are expecting to make an arrest in the pharmacy break-in in the very near future,” Fricker said.
Sheriff Fricker said his department is also investigating an unrelated residential break-in during which a PlayStation 3 was taken.
