Burglar Smashes into Cropwell Pharmacy, Nothing Stolen, Police Say

A would-be prescription drug thief broke into Cropwell Pharmacy on Old Marlton Pike early Friday morning, but left before taking anything, according to Evesham Township Police, who are now asking for the public’s help in trying to identify the masked man.

The unidentified man smashed his way in through the front door with a hammer some time before 1:20 a.m., police said, and had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.

He was dressed in a white Tyvek suit and a dark-colored head wrap that obscured his face, police said, and sported a headlamp and a dark-colored bag slung over his shoulder.

Surveillance cameras inside the store spotted the alleged burglar behind the counter, but police said nothing was actually taken from the pharmacy. The man was last seen headed east down Old Marlton Pike, toward Route 73, police said.
