MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -
Authorities believe a pharmacy theft in Huntsville was an
inside job. We're talking thousands of dollars worth of pills.
The Madison County Sheriff's/Madison Police Drug Unit arrested Carol Ann
Moore over the weekend at a Huntsville pharmacy.
The 59-year-old is accused of stealing pills from the pharmacy and selling
it out of her car.
Drug agents say they were able to catch her in the act while doing
surveillance on the parking lot. Police believe she was stealing and selling
hundreds of Hydrocodone, Xanax and Loracets.
This is big money according to drug agents, who say Oxycodone can go for $25-30
per pill on the street. Add that up with the other pills going for around $5-10
a pop and you're talking thousands of dollars worth of prescription medicine
recovered in just this one bust.
Moore didn't give up all of her pills at the time of her arrest. According
to drug agents, she was charged with prison contraband.
WAFF 48 News has learned that she was hiding more pills in her
undergarments.
Law enforcement says the pharmacy board will be pulling her technicians
license.
Drug agents did not want to name the pharmacy Moore worked at. They
tell WAFF 48 News that the people who work there did the right thing and
reported the crime to the right people.
Agents say they are no way at fault, and it's that type of cooperation that
helps solve these types of cases.
