MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio \u2013 Two unidentified men stole more than $2,100 in eye and ear drops and allergy medication at about 1 p.m. Nov. 1 from Walgreens, 7260 Pearl Road.<\/p>\n
Walgreen managers said the men were members of a \u201cbooster crew\u201d that was stealing eye and ear drops and allergy meds from several Walgreens stores in Greater Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Booster crews sell products they steal to \u201cfence\u201d operations that then resell the products for a profit.<\/p>\n
Walgreens on Pearl in Middleburg Heights reported the theft Nov. 20 after taking inventory and finding that several eye and ear drops and allergy meds were missing.<\/p>\n
Security video from Nov. 1 showed two suspects entering the store. One of the men pointed to the aisle that contained eye drops and allergy meds, which are locked in a display case.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unknown how the two men might have gained access to the locked display case because the store\u2019s security video system didn\u2019t show that particular aisle.<\/p>\n
Security video did show the license-plate number of a Chrysler Pacifica in which the two men left the Walgreens parking lot. Police learned that the car had been rented from Hertz in Denver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio \u2013 Two unidentified men stole more than $2,100 in eye and ear drops and allergy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[103,61,60,371],"class_list":{"0":"post-177339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-medication"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
