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.
