Giant Burglar Sneaks in Through Hole in Ceiling

Police are looking for a burglar who took a different approach to breaking into the University Mall Giant pharmacy earlier this month.

Instead of jimmying the front door or hiding until the grocery store closed, this suspect climbed into a secure part of the pharmacy from a hole in the ceiling.

Giant employees went to investigate when they heard the pharmacy alarm at around 9:30 p.m. on June 9. They found the man helping himself to medication behind a locked gate.

The suspect fled before police arrived.

Police said the man was in his 20s, about 5-feet-9 inches tall and weighing 150 to 170 pounds. He had brown hair.
