Drug store thief comes after pills, gets beans

PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - April 14, 2011

Pharmacist Mac Clark works at Fred's Drug Store in Pascagoula and told a local television station that the store has broken into several times in the past six months, and each time the burglars got Lortab. He decided he needed a decoy.

He put kidney beans in a large Lortab bottle. Around 6 a.m. Wednesday, the burglars came back. The only thing stolen was the Lortab bottle filled with beans.

Investigators believe the burglar cut him or herself during the break-in because they found a trail of blood leading away from the building.
