Owners Of Woodland Drug Store Asking For Help To Identify Robbery Suspects
WOODLAND (CBS13) - The family that owns a 100 year-old-pharmacy is asking for the public's help to identify suspects caught on surveillance breaking-in and causing a lot of damage.
The suspects were after a particular type of medication. But as you'll see, they didn't get away without giving away some good clues to track them down.
The surveillance video shows the suspects crashing through the front window, and then one after another, they rush in and head straight for the prescription medication, searching through the shelves until they find what they're after.

At one point, a camera captures a close-up of one suspect's face. His grey sweatshirt appears to have the word Chicago on it. He fumbles through bottles before moving out of frame.
"I'm a pharmacist here as well as my mom. My sister works here as well, so it's really a family," said Sara Shelley.
Shelley's family has run Woodland's Corner Drug Store for three generations. They are now cleaning up the mess which includes smashed computer screens. Shelley says the suspects were going after a type of cough syrup containing promethazine, a narcotic used to create a potent cocktail called "scissor" or "drank."

This is the second time Shelley's store has been hit.
"Yeah, it's frustrating that we're just here to help our patients to give them what they need and we have to worry about are we going to get broken into again?" she says.
It's a family-run pharmacy hit by a double-dose of burglaries. They owners fear there could be more.
This latest break-in came at 5 a.m. Saturday. Corner Drug has been in Woodland at the same location since 1897.
