Pharmacy burglary in Edinburgh

Theft of Mounjaro medication in Edinburgh

According to an article published on 11 October 2025, a pharmacy in East Craigs, Edinburgh, was targeted by burglars last week. Pharmacybiz reports that large quantities of Mounjaro, a weight loss drug, were stolen during the incident. Police responded to the scene following an alert from the pharmacy staff.

Authorities are currently examining CCTV footage to identify those responsible. The pharmacy has issued a reward for any information leading to the recovery of the stolen goods or the identification of the suspects. Furthermore, store representatives have appealed to local residents to provide any available dashcam or doorbell footage that might assist the ongoing police investigation.

Mounjaro, the brand name for the drug Tirzepatide, has seen a significant rise in demand, leading to recent price increases. This surge in value has contributed to an increase in pharmacy thefts and the circulation of illicit versions of the medication. Business owners are encouraged to review and strengthen their security measures, including alarm systems and surveillance, to better protect high-value inventory.
