OPP urging pharmacists to lock up their medicines

The West Region OPP is urging pharmacists to lock up their medicines at night.

This comes after a rash of pharmacy break-ins across the region.

13 pharmacies have been hit in 2014 so far, including in St. Marys, Milverton, and Tavistock.

Police say narcotics especially should be properly secured.

Their investigation into the break-ins is ongoing.
