Avenue medical office last week and
made off with prescription pads and cash.
Sometime between midnight and 1:30 a.m.
on July 20, the suspect allegedly used a metal
rod to open a glass patio door and entered
Jing Gastroenterology on Roosevelt Avenue.
The man was captured on surveillance
video as he walked through the suite. He
grabbed prescription pads, which are used
by doctors for the distribution of medication,
and $1,575 in cash before fleeing in an unknown
direction.
According to police, the man was last seen
wearing a white T-shirt, white shorts and
dark-colored gloves.
No arrests have been made and the investigation
is ongoing.
