Laundro-snatch!

Someone snatched a purse from a Utica Avenue laundromat on June 5.

The victim told police that she was at the location near Glenwood Road around 1:30 pm and left her bag at a table to refill her dryer. When she returned minutes later, her pocketbook was gone.

Inside job

Cops busted a pharmacist who they say falsified prescriptions at a Kings Highway pharmacy on June 8.

Police said the suspect altered the prescriptions at the drugstore near Glenwood Avenue in December to receive two shipments of Oxycodone, and only entered half of the shipments into the pharmacy’s system, according to the report.

Cops also said that four bottles of the drugs were not in the pharmacy’s system, which the suspect allegedly took to distribute, according to the report. Police arrested the man at his home, according to the report.
