Authorities say about $1,000 worth of painkillers were stolen during a drug store break-in last night in southwest Iowa. The theft occurred at around 11 P.M. Monday at Carley Drug in Avoca.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s department spokesman Sergeant Duane Richie says pills reported stolen include the painkillers Hydrocodone and Darvocet. Anyone with information on the break-in is asked to call the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s office at 712-890-2200 and ask for Sergeant Richie or Investigator Rob Ambrose.
