Burglar Takes Medicine From Animal Clinic in Fredericksburg
An emergency animal clinic was burglarized Tuesday night, and no cash was taken —just medicine, according to Fredericksburg Police.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Well, it's one thing for burglars to break into an animal emergency clinic. That, in an of itself, would seem to mean the thieves (or thief) certainly are not animal lovers. But then again, as seemingly indicated in Wednesday's Fredericksburg Police report, maybe there are.
That's because, after breaking in to the animal emergency clinic at 1210 Snowden Street around 11 p.m. Tuesday, they didn't steal money. Instead, according to police, they stole. . .an undetermined amount of medications.
