Tulsa detectives see increase in pharmacy robberies

We told you recently about the same suspect who robbed two Walgreens pharmacies on Cinco De Mayo here in Tulsa.

Now comes word he's not the only problem in this line of work. Tulsa robbery detectives say they have recently seen a rise in pharmacy robberies.

“It’s early enough in the year,” a detective said.  “To have five already, concerns us.”

Detectives add the last time they saw a rise in pill robberies was following some major heroine busts in town. They believe this could be the case here as well.

Anyone with information regarding recent pharmacy robberies is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
