Suspect sought in Santa Clarita pharmacy burglary

Authorities were asking for the public’s help in identifying and tracking down a man they say stole prescription drugs and cash from a pharmacy in Santa Clarita.

Authorities said the man rode a motorcycle into the pharmacy's parking lot in the 27800 block of Smyth Drive on Sept. 3 about 1:15 a.m. and entered the building by using a pry tool to carefully remove the window pane from the front door.
