Feds raid Naples pharmacy

NAPLES, FL -

Federal Agents raided a Naples Pharmacy - taking out dozens of boxes filled with evidence.

The surprise operation went down at the Sunshine Pharmacy on Rattlesnake Hammock Road.

It was a rainy day for Sunshine Pharmacy.

One computer hard drive after another - along with dozens of boxes filled with evidence were loaded out its doors Thursday afternoon after the place was raided.

"I was kind of shocked because I've been to the pharmacy before," said Rosario Falzule.

The D.E.A. and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted the search, while the Collier County Narcotics team assisted. They couldn't release any specific information - other than they executed a search warrant.

A special agent familiar with Thursday's search described what they look for during these Pharmacy raids.

"We primarily investigate the allegations of healthcare fraud" says Ryan Lynch, Special Agent, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Office of Investigations.

Lynch says they usually take evidence such as prescription filling records and inventory sheets from manufacturers and drugs.
