Break-in at Helping Hand pharmacy, Sheriff Pace seeks public’s assistance
Last updated:
Helping Hand pharmacy on 61 North was broken into overnight.
At 4:32 a.m., 911 dispatchers alerted Warren County Sheriff’s deputies of two calls at Helping Hand pharmacy. One was for a suspicious subject the other was an alarm, broken glass, at the location. Both calls came at almost the exact same time.
According to Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace, “Deputies arrived within minutes to see the store had been broken into. The Suspects were no longer on the scene.”
Security footage shows a total of five individuals wearing masks who broke into the store. Sheriff Pace also stated one suspect was wearing a vest that said “police” and assures it was not a legitimate police vest.
Sheriff Pace stated the suspects took pharmaceuticals and left on foot, heading north toward Highway 61.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Warren County Sheriff’s Office or Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers.
An inventory is being performed to determine exactly what all was taken. Helping Hand is open for business today.
