Colonial Pharmacy burglarized

BUFFALO TWP — Painkillers and petty cash were stolen from the Colonial Pharmacy in a smash-and-grab burglary early this morning.
Buffalo Township police believe the same burglars broke into the same Ekastown Road drugstore nearly three months ago.
"We're looking at three people," said Patrolman Jason Sappe.
He said police have "persons of interest" in the burglaries; however, he would not elaborate.
The burglars in the latest break-in struck at 3:08 a.m., the time an alarm at the pharmacy alerted police. Officers were there in minutes, but the suspects already were gone.
Police said the burglars used a pry bar device to smash out a front window and get inside. The trio possibly laid in wait until a cleaning crew at a doctor's office next door left, before making their move.
The burglars scooped up an unknown amount of prescription drugs, believed to be painkillers.
"They grabbed whatever they could get their hands on,"Sappe said, "and took a small amount of cash in the drawer."
He estimated the money amounted to less than $50.
The burglars did not linger and drove away in a vehicle. There were apparently no witnesses, police said.
Asimilar burglary on Nov. 10 netted the burglars 2,800 pills of the painkillers Vicodin and Percocet, and $150, police said.
The earlier break-in about 3:45 a.m. was made when the suspects cut a hole through the roof to get into the store.
Police are asking anyone who might have seen anything suspicious this morning at or around the Colonial Pharmacy to call the station at 724-295-9500.
