Early Friday morning, thieves targeted four pharmacies in the western San Fernando Valley, with the first burglary occurring around 3:30 a.m. in Woodland Hills. Security footage captured suspects in black hoodies and masks breaking into the Woodland Hills Rx, where they stole narcotics valued at $15,000 and approximately $4,000 in cash. An hour later, another pharmacy in Tarzana was hit, but the thieves only managed to steal over $500 without taking any drugs. The third incident took place at the Encino Senior Living facility around 5:30 a.m., followed by a fourth burglary less than a mile away. In all cases, the suspects were seen fleeing in a Dodge Durango. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the possibility of a connection between these burglaries, as they occurred in quick succession and involved similar methods and attire. The investigation aims to identify the suspects and prevent further incidents in the area, as the community remains on high alert following these coordinated attacks on local pharmacies.
