FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On 2-25-2014, at approximately
4:22 a.m., the Humboldt
County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a burglary alarm at Lima’s Pharmacy on
Harrison Avenue, Eureka. A deputy arrived at the Pharmacy within three minutes
of the call. The deputy checked the main building which was secure; however the
deputy saw wet tracks in the lawn to a smaller building behind the main
building. The deputy saw the door to that building was kicked in and there was
a shoe print below the handle. The inside of the building had been
ransacked.
The owner of the pharmacy was
notified and arrived on scene. He told the investigating deputy the smaller
building belonged to Limas Pharmacy. The pharmacy stored non-narcotic
medications in that building, along with other items. The non-narcotic
medications were contained in various un-labeled bottles which were in various
sizes. The owner could not tell the deputy immediately what was taken from the
building.
On 2-25-2014, approximately 10:15
a.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Pharmacy owner
that he discovered numerous non-narcotic medications were stolen and was
concerned for anyone who may take them. The owner, who is a Pharmacist, said
anyone taking these medications that were not prescribed to them could have
serious medical issues or even death. The owner is still inventorying the
stolen medication.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office
regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the
Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at
