Pharmacy robbery is a severe act of violence.
Over the last several months, the occurrence of robberies in pharmacies seems to be escalating.
Pharmacy robberies are posing a severe threat to pharmacists, employees, and customers present at the scene, as well as to responding officers.
This may affect our community at large, through fear of victimization; those who are legitimately prescribed painkillers & who may find them difficult to obtain when pharmacies restrict supplies to prevent robberies.
We are looking for everyone's support to change the legislation and ensure that enhanced penalties are widely publicized and known offenders are notified, and potential offenders believe they will be apprehended and punished.
