This happened earlier in the week but now we have an MPD Press Release with full details and some security footage. Looks like Fairview should hire the same security consultants who work with Walgreens or CVS to try to get better footage.
We learn that $15,000 worth of narcotics were stolen. That's a huge loss to Fairview, and I imagine it will have a rolling effect on drug related crimes and deaths in Minneapolis.

Margaret,
You on so on top of things. Thought I would throw something out there, about this but you are way ahead of me.
Good thing no one was hurt. Hopefully, they do something to improve security.
It was just the timing. If stuff hits my mailbox when I have a spare moment, it goes up. If not, I may not get to it for a day or so. I actually got word that this had happened from my neighborhood list a few days ago but passed it up since there weren't a lot of details yet available.
