Medicine Shoppe robbery in Salem |
|
by Ron Penczak |
The Medicine Shoppe at 15 Ermer Road has had it's share of crime this year. On October 24, an elderly woman crashed into the pharmacy that necessitated the pharmacy being boarded up. The following night, thieves smashed a rear window of the pharmay with a peice of concrete from the crash site. Police beleive that the crash provided the burglars with the belief that the alarms would be knocked out of service. They weren't. The police do have security tapes from the pharmacy and believe that they will help identify the two suspects who stole more than 900 pills of Vicodn and Hydrocodone, 330 pills of Lorazepam, 60 pills of Halcion and a small amount of Ritalin. The culprits mistakenly took large quantities of blood pressure and diabeties medication. They probably believed that they were a form of methadone since the drug names began with "meth" and "met."
This break-in is another crime that the Medicine Shoppe has experienced following the armed hold-up by two men wearing surgical masks this past January. Although police can't state that the two crimes are related, they are seeking information from the public to help solve both crimes.
If you have any information about either crime, call Crimeline of Southern NH at 893-6600 or at (800) 498-4040 or go online to www.crimelinesnh.com .

He’s Still Out There!
by Ron Penczak
Salem Police would like your help. On April 27th, at approximately 12:15 P.M., a man followed a young woman through the Rockingham Park Mall’s J. C. Penny store and into the parking lot where he dropped his pants and masturbated next to her vehicle. Based on CCTV it was learned that this white or Hispanic, five-foot-nine to six foot male in his early to mid 20s, weighing between 160-190 pounds, wearing a red T-shirt, black Adidas pants and sneakers was accompanied by two white females, in their late teens or early 20’s. Both had their brown hair pulled back in buns. One was heavyset and possibly pregnant, wearing a pink shirt, jeans and carrying a white purse. The second female was of medium build and was the driver of a 1995 to 1999 Green or Black, possibly a Chrysler Cirrus four-door automobile, perhaps with Massachusetts plates. Both women were seen on CCTV shoplifting at the Hollister store.
What’s particularly disturbing is the man performed this indecent act during daylight hours. There is concern that this man’s action could escalate into something more repugnant and dangerous to women.
