Two suspects are wanted after burglarizing the CVS Pharmacy in the 1400 block South Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia, on May 25, at about 9:30 p.m.
As one suspect distracted a pharmacist with a “consultation,” the second suspect jumped the pharmacy counter and moved directly to a supply of bottled Promethazine with Codeine cough syrup.
He grabbed a number of bottles and placed them in a brown bag. Both suspects then ran out of the store through an emergency exit. No suspect vehicle was seen. Authorities are seeking public assistance in identifying the two suspects.
Both suspects are described as males, White or Hispanic, 20 to 30-years-old. One is approximately 5-feet-7-inchess tall, weighing 130 pounds and the other 6-feet-tall, 160 pounds.
Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to contact the Arcadia Police Department at (626) 574-5150, case #16002821.
