Young people stealing and scamming prescription drugs

The Janesville Gazette has documented the problem of young people stealing and abusing prescription drugs in Rock County. Some kids steal from parents and grandparents, and burglars often target prescription drugs.

And now Milton police warn about a young man who allegedly infers he works with the department’s prescription drug collection program and offers to make pickups.

I learned about a similar incident at a law enforcement seminar for seniors where the statewide problem of prescription drug abuse was discussed.
