Narcotics Stolen During Medical Office Burglary

Hundreds of narcotic pills were stolen during a May 14 burglary at Covenant Family Medicine in Dacula.

Police were dispatched to the Teron Trace office in response to a burglar alarm shortly after 4:30 a.m. Monday morning. The first officer to arrive noticed the front glass door had been shattered and propped open. Officers checked the building and found no one inside, but discovered the burglar or burglars had forced their way into a room used to store medications. A medicine cabinet inside the room had also been forced open. A later inventory revealed the burglar or burglars had stolen 500 hydrocodone tablets, 700 carisoprodol tablets, 1,000 tablets of aprazolam, 600 clonazepam tablets and 150 tablets of diazepam. Two other medicine cabinets in the room were left untouched.

The case is listed as active.

The incident is the second in less than a month in which narcotics have been stolen from a Dacula business. On April 23, an . Video showed the suspect use an unidentified tool to break the front glass door and enter the pharmacy. That case remains under investigation.
