Canton pharmacy break-ins linked to group of thieves

A string of at least five pharmacy break-ins in Canton this summer have been committed by at least two crews of thieves, police said this morning.

Police released surveillance images of several burglars today and are hoping someone will recognize them or their vehicles.

According to police, the burglaries which started July 4 are primarily taking place between midnight and 5 a.m. The thieves usually break out a window on the door and spend just a few minutes in the store.

Police said some of the thefts have been committed by two white men and others have been committed by two black men.

In the most recent case, which was reported Aug. 24, two white men and two black men were seen in surveillance images, police said. The two white men appeared to be driving a light-colored, four-door, mid-sized sedan possibly either a Pontiac G6 or Dodge Neon.

In all the cases, the thieves have taken measures to conceal their identities, including wearing ski masks, bandanas and baseball caps.

The Canton Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 734-394-5400 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is being offered through Crime Stoppers.
