Pharmacy Rummaged Through in Bristol
The Rite Aid along New Falls Road was the target of medicine thieves.
The makeshift Rite Aid location in the 6900 block of New Falls Road in Bristol Township was ransacked by thieves on Tuesday, authorities said.
Officers responded to the temporary, trailer-based pharmacy in the parking lot of the under-construction Rite Aid by Five Points for an active alarm Tuesday morning at 1 a.m., Lt. Terry Hughes said.
Arriving patrol units found the structure had been entered and items from the pharmacy were rummaged through and taken, Hughes said. A refrigerator used to store medicine was also entered.
