Drugs stolen from area Walgreens

Police are looking for a masked man who got away with drugs after robbing the Walgreens pharmacy in Miamisburg.

Officers said the man wearing a ski mask and gloves walked up to the drive-thru window at the East Central Avenue business around 11:15 p.m. Monday night. He implied he had a weapon, and demanded prescription drugs. The pharmacist complied, and the man took off on foot.

Police said the man got away with several hundred Oxycontin pills, a prescription pain killer which is very popular on the black market.

Police started to track the robber with a Montgomery County Sheriff’s K-9, but it lost the track near an apartment complex on Heincke Road.

Investigators hope surveillance video will help identify the robber.

The pharmacy is doing an inventory to see how much the thief took.
