Thieves targeted South Bay pharmacy for codeine, owner says; Beverly Hills pharmacy also hit 

Four pharmacy burglaries were reported across the L.A. area in a 48-hour period, including at one location that was targeted just over a month ago. 

The owner of LAX Pharmacy, which lies in the 4000 block of Lennox Boulevard in Lennox, told KTLA on Wednesday that his store had last been hit around 40 days ago, which was around when they got their last shipment of codeine cough suppressant. 

He said that six suspects bypassed his recently installed security measures around 2:15 a.m. Wednesday and broke into the store to steal more codeine. Police were not able to confirm what, if anything, was stolen. 

The Lennox burglary occurred shortly before another pharmacy in Beverly Hills was hit by multiple thieves.  Preliminary information indicates that incident took place at Pharmacy 90210 on Wilshire Boulevard around 2:45 a.m. and involved four suspects who were said to have stolen an unknown amount of narcotics. 

Those suspects then purportedly fled in a Dodge Durango Hellcat and lost officers after a pursuit; however, police confirmed that one person was detained in connection with the Beverly Hills burglary, but they did not release any further information.  

Wednesday morning’s burglaries come on the heels of two other pharmacies being burglarized in Sun Valley and Valley Village.
