Investigators ask for help identifying pharmacy burglary suspects

Investigators are asking for the public’s help to identify two burglars they say stole drugs from a local pharmacy over the weekend. The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office says the suspects broke into Habersham Drug at 638 Historic Highway 441 near Habersham Medical Center in Demorest.

According to officials, the suspects forced entry into the building around 1:25 a.m. on Saturday, July 24. The sheriff’s office released three surveillance photos on a flyer Monday. Investigators describe the suspects as two black males. They say one of the suspects stayed outside the business and acted as a guard while the other went inside and took several narcotics from behind the counter.

“It also appears the male wearing gray shoes has a tattoo on his left arm,” the flyer states.

If you can help officials identify these suspects, please call HCSO Investigator R. Kushman at 706-839-0557 or the sheriff’s office directly at 706-839-0500.
