Whoops: Dental Practice Burglars Bypass Narcotics for Antibiotics

Bryn Mawr Periodontal Associates was burglarized last week, but Lower Merion Police say the thieves may have left disappointed. 

While several computers and cameras were taken, police say the owner of the practice arrived the morning after the May 23 burglary to find the narcotics cabinet untouched. Some antibiotics, on the other hand, were missing.

According to police, the owner left his 1201 County Line Road building on May 22 at 5:30 p.m. Several employees were still in the facility when he left, but he told police this is common, and they usually secure the building after they leave.

When the owner arrived the following morning, he found the door to the building unlocked and the door to his suite unlocked as well. Police say the lights weren't working and all the plugs that power the control system were removed from their outlets. 

According to the department, the owner called police and inspected the facility. Police say something was taken from nearly every room of the office, including three computers and several Nikon cameras.

There were no signs of force.
