NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) At least five mom-and-pop pharmacies have been broken into across the city.
Police say tens of thousands of dollars worth of drugs have been stolen. As CBS2’s Kevin Rincon reported Friday, it’s not the work of a lone burglar.
The front window is being replaced at the Strand Pharmacy in Astoria, Queens after police say at least two men broke in and stole an estimated $10,000 worth of prescription pills, along with $2,000 in cash.

Police are searching for a group of thieves who have been busting into pharmacies and stealing prescription drugs throughout the city.
Investigators released photos of two of the suspects from a store break-in on Tuesday.
The burglaries happened in Queens and Brooklyn.
On Monday, March 15 at 2:30 a.m. the group of four men broke into a Payomatic on 5th Avenue.
They used something to break the glass of the front door to gain entry.
Once inside, they tried to remove an ATM before taking off with nothing in a white SUV.
The next three targets were pharmacies in both boroughs, each hit by a team of four unidentified individuals. The robbers were able to steal prescription pills valued at $30,000 from the EZ RX Pharmacy in Bay Ridge, the same night as the Payomatic hit.
Police say their second pharmacy break-in, at Health Quest RX Pharmacy in Astoria, was a bust. After the group came up empty in Astoria, they headed back to Brooklyn, to Corner Pharmacy in Williamsburg where they stole an unknown amount of drugs, police say.
The same night as the Williamsburg robbery, March 26, police say the group struck Haideri Pann & Cigarette in Jackson Heights. The group is accused of smashing the bodega s front door and stealing an ATM with $5,000 inside.
