Harford County Sheriff's deputies arrested two New York City men Sunday who they say stole large quantities of over-the-counter medications from a number of local pharmacies.
Dezire Wenner, 22 and Kenyata Johnson, 25, face a number of theft charges. Deputies believe Wenner and Johnson were working with a third man who they are searching for.
Wenner and Johnson were accused of robbing pharmacies in Belcamp and Forest Hill. Around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, deputies were called to a Walgreens in the 2000 block of Rock Spring Road in Forest Hill after a report of a theft. The men fled the store before deputies arrived. However, around 8 p.m., deputies canvassing local pharmacies found Wenner and Johnson outside a Walgreens in the 2100 block of Fallston Road in Fallston. A search of their vehicle found stolen over-the-counter medications, police said.
Wenner and Johnson are currently being held without bond at the Harford County Detention Center in Bel Air.
Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to contact the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, Criminal Investigations Division at 410-836-5442.
