Pharmacy connection

Pharmacies, it seems, are becoming targets for robberies. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties have all had incidents within the last couple of weeks where pharmacies have been assaulted.

According to police, the two men who have been arrested may be connected to several or all the pharmacy robberies.

The two men, Calix Green, 25, and Andre D. Holmes, 33, were arrested Wednesday on attempted robbery and loitering charges and released Thursday. The charges against them remain.

Since May of 2007, 14 pharmacies in Broward have been burglarized. On Oct. 8, the Coconut Creek Walgreen's was burglarized, and on Oct. 18, yesterday, two Boca pharmacies was burglarized.

Pharmacies seem to be a target for these burglars. For more information on the Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach robberies, go to,
