The agency said in a “Be on the Lookout” (BOLO) alert the suspects broke into the pharmacy looking for prescription drugs around 3:25 a.m. on April 18. They may also be responsible for similar burglaries in Dunwoody, Austell and Powder Springs.

“They are believed to target small, independently owned pharmacies,” the sheriff’s office said in the alert. “They move quickly, spending no more than three minutes at a location, and seem to be only interested in prescription narcotics.”
