The hunt is on for four suspects that the Fort Worth Police Department says are behind a pharmacy burglary and the theft of a big haul of prescription drugs. In a brazen early-morning break-in, the individuals, now considered armed and dangerous, shattered the calm of Forest Park Blvd. with the echo of sledgehammers against glass.

According to the Fort Worth Police Department, at around 1:05 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, the foursome executed their theft at a pharmacy located near the 2400 block of Forest Park Blvd. The value of the prescription medication they made off with, exceeds $10,000.

Detailing the suspects’ descriptions, the police have broadly categorized the first as a Black male, standing 6'2", and weighing 175 lbs., in the age range of 18-25, donned in a black Reebok hooded jacket, ski mask, and wielding the sledgehammer used for entry. The others, with concealed identities, were similarly clad in dark attire and masks; their race and gender remain unknown. One, draped in a black hoodie, black ski mask, black pants, black gloves, and black Air Jordan's, was armed with a crowbar. Suspect three, outfitted in a black jacket, black ski mask, and with a distinguishing flash of orange on their gloves, matched the crowbar armament. The fourth person, appearing no less threatening, was in a black hoodie and mask, gray gloves, white Nike tennis shoes, and accompanied by a sledgehammer.

The ensuing investigation led officers to a discarded pharmacy container roughly a mile away from the scene at the 2200 block of Mistletoe Ave. Fort Worth, TX, indicating the suspects’ trail. The Fort Worth police urge anyone with tips or information—to reach out to Detective Dunn at 817-392-4718 or to anonymously contact Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-8477. A fleeting chance for justice hinges on these details, fragments of a night's recklessness, cast upon the community's shoulders. A police report tagged with #24-35511 might just be the key to closing this case of criminal audacity.
