Police say the suspects forced their way into the Pain Relief Rx Pharmacy, located at 63-03 Dry Harbor Road, at approximately 2:40 a.m. on Tuesday, August 15. Once inside, the thieves removed a bank book before entering a White BMW SUV and fleeing the scene.

The incident was reported to the police at approximately 5:30 p.m. the following day.
