From the article:
CUMBERLAND CO., Pa.(WPMT)- A Camp Hill man is charged in a series of robberies at a CVS Pharmacy at 105 S. Sporting Hill Road in Hampden Township. The latest occurred at around 10:09 pm on Sunday, November 9. When responding Township Police officers attempted to stop the suspect’s vehicle, he fled. A chase ensued through several municipalities. The driver was finally stopped and taken into custody on Crestwood Drive in Camp Hill. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Taylor S. Young, whose address is on Crestwood Drive.
Charges against Young include Robbery, Theft, Receiving Stolen Property and Attempting to Elude Police. Young is also charged with robbing the same CVS Pharmacy on July 16, September 14, and October 2. He is being held on $80,000 bail at Cumberland County Prison.
As I remember, there was a Federal law passed in the early 70’s that to rob a pharmacy involving control meds was considered a crime similar to robbing a bank.. FEDERAL OFFENSE
when have you seen the FBI involved in a pharmacy being robbed ?
Question is… why hasn’t the DEA/FBI/DOJ mandated or fine these pharmacies that has such poor physical security in their Rx dept. In Indiana, AG Greg Zoeller “strong armed” the Medical Licensing Board to mandate urine test for all pts taking above a certain level of opiates per day… BUT Indiana is at or near the top of pharmacies robberies .. I guess that the bureaucrats in Indiana have no problem in imposing the additional cost of urine tests… but.. “don’t feel comfortable” mandating Rx depts are more physically secure.. Could it be that the BIG BOYS contribute more to election campaigns than chronic painers ?

While she’s not my district state rep, I’ve known her most my life. She was not my elememtary teacher, but my husbands and many others..she does listen, I will be emailing and talking to her about considering changing conceal carry rules in IN to allow certain professions like pharmacy..to go over the heads of employers ro carry on the job. This state has now allowed teachers with certification training to carry in schools. I also think I can bring up some of the other issues related to pharmacy. Anyone else????
Another understaffed store..4 times by one guy and a few others times this spring. The bad guys are well aware of the staffing situation. One RPh did quit.
