Pharmacy targeted in West Derby burglary

A large quantity of prescription-only medication was stolen from a pharmacy in West Derby, according to Pharmacybiz reporting published on 17 February 2024. The theft targeted controlled medications kept within the pharmacy stock, highlighting the vulnerability of retail pharmaceutical premises to organised crime.

Pharmacies remain attractive targets for burglars due to the high street value of prescription medications, particularly controlled substances. Business owners are urged to ensure adequate security measures, including reinforced locks, alarm systems, and secure storage of high-value stock in safes or locked cabinets.
