Don’t know if it’s the same ring. A local pharmacy in S.E. Missouri was broken into during the very early morning hours. The thieves drove north up I-55 breaking into pharmacies in smaller towns on the way. They’d hop off the Interstate, hit a pharmacy and be back on the Interstate before local cops arrived.
A nearby small county pharmacy has been hit twice in recent years. Once when the owner was in the hospital recovering from surgery. He had just returned from the operating room when his phone rang. His wife answered it and it was the Sheriff’s Office wanting him to come down to the pharmacy and see what had been taken.
Since not just anyone can do an inventory check, he had to get approval from his insurance company and the state for a fellow pharmacist to do an inventory before his business could reopen.
Burglaries on small locally-owned pharmacies can put them out of business pretty quick. Insurance doesn’t cover all the costs and of course their insurance premium increases.
