SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police are asking for the public's help to ID a man accused of stealing prescription drugs from a local hospital.

South Charleston Police have named the men in the surveillance pictures two of Charleston's Most Wanted. The incident happened in mid-April at Thomas Memorial Hospital.

The man wearing the mask broke into the pharmacy at the hospital and stole thousands of dollars worth of pain killers, including about 800 Lortabs. The man in the dark blue shirt with no mask was seen talking to the suspect who stole the drugs. Police aren't sure if he's connected with the crime, but they believe he could have information.

Contact Detective Rader at the South Charleston Police Department at (304) 744-3435 ext 109 if you have any information about either of these men.

The only really good picture they have is the guy with the baseball cap. He has one of those familar faces and I don't think that that in itself would be memerable. But like in the previous posts. These guys do seem as though that they would stand out. Also, what doesn't make sense is that they only took one kind of meds. If one was goin to be stealing prescription narcotics from a hospital pharmacy one would think that they would clean them out or at least go after the "harder" meds, unless those were harder to get at or something!

Everyone complains about security, well let me tell you something, the only time you think of security is when something bad has happened. Never do you consider the poor pay or the crappy hours they work. If you want better security improve pay. Better pay equals better employees, hence better security. If your not willing to except that then don't complain.
