SGV Man Arrested in Suspicion of Burglarizing O.C. Pharmacy

ANAHEIM (CNS) - Anaheim police Tuesday announced the arrests of a San Gabriel Valley man in connection with a pharmacy burglary in Orange County.

Joey Baldovinos, 20, of Alhambra, was arrested at his home Friday on suspicion of burglarizing a pharmacy at 1012 N. Euclid St. in Anaheim on Jan. 7, Wyatt said. The same pharmacy was targeted again on April 6, and investigators are working to determine if Baldovinos had anything to do with that break-in, Wyatt said.

When police searched Baldovinos' home, they found multiple empty bottles of prescription cough syrup containing Promethazine and Codeine, Wyatt said. The bottles did not come from the Anaheim burglaries, so investigators are working to determine if the suspect was involved in more break-ins, Wyatt said.

Baldovinos was released Sunday after posting $25,000 bail, Wyatt said.
