Man Smashed In, Stole Vicodin from Pharmacy

He took Vicodin and other pain killers, police say.

A man smashed in the front door of a Mission Viejo drug store, then stole pain killers from the pharmacy, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino told City News Service.

He said it happened just after midnight Thursday morning at the pharmacy.

Detectives think the same man broke into on July 22, Amormino told CNS. That time someone cut a hole through the pharmacy's roof.
