Central Avenue Pharmacy Robbed Again

Central Drugs

According to the police the suspect walked into the pharmacy and handed the clerk a note demanding Oxycontin. The police say that the suspect then lifted up his shirt revealing a handgun.

The clerk handed over the Oxycontin and the suspect fled the scene.

Next time, slip them sleeping pills. Or laxatives.

Last robbery was in June. That robber got caught when the P.G.P.D. got lucky. They must have been too busy investigating noisy wind chimes today..

City residents – you’re boned, too. Look forward to bending over for more tourists.

Two council members at the time said “Frutchey streamlined Oxnard’s bureaucracy and helped make the city more business-friendly,” the Times said. He also had support from the president of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce.
