SALT LAKE COUNTY -- Robbers looking for drugs hit another Rite Aid pharmacy in the Salt Lake Valley Wednesday afternoon.
A man and woman walked into the pharmacy near 2300 East and 3300 South and handed the pharmacist a note demanding OxyContin. The clerk complied, and the thieves left.
"I think it's a huge problem. It just accentuates the fact that we got a real issue when it comes to OxyContin dependence in this valley," said Salt Lake County sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson.
Deputies said, as a disguise, the man had tape and gauze on his nose as if he just had nasal surgery. He is described as 6 feet tall with dark hair.
