SOUTH Australian Police are investigating seven break-ins at community pharmacies in Adelaide between 25 May and 03 Jun, with stores in the Windsor Gardens, Walkerville, Greenacres, Marden, Mile End and Plympton Park areas targeted by thieves.
CCTV footage of a raid at a pharmacy on Muller Road, Greenacres, on 03 Jun, showed two suspects smash their way into the store - with one striking the door multiple times with a metal bar, before the second thief broke through the glass with his shoulder.
"CCTV obtained from the various locations show two men wearing dark clothing, hoodies, gloves smashing the front doors before entering and stealing medications," SA Police said.
"Police suspect the break-ins are all linked."
Meanwhile an SA Police Dog sniffed out a suspect who smashed his way into a pharmacy in the Marion area of Adelaide in the early hours of Fri morning.
The thief was apprehended in a nearby reserve, where he was arrested without incident, Adelaide Now reported.
