SCDN received further information from a source familiar with the situation. According to that source, at least one “Sharps Container” was included in the alleged theft.
According to the NIH, unscrupulous healthcare workers can “gain access to drugs despite the existing safeguards because (they steal) discarded syringes, vials, and patches that contain leftover drugs from biohazard boxes.”
SCDN reached out to law enforcement regarding this case. They assured us they were very involved in retrieving the stolen meds.
Our source next reported that a search was conducted on a property said to be occupied by the suspect. At this time, the suspect has not been arrested as they continue to build the case.
