Sarnia police investigating incidents of prescription fraud

Pharmacists in Sarnia are being urged to be vigilant as city police investigate several incidents of prescription fraud for narcotics.

Police said suspects who have gained credentials from a local doctor's office, contact the pharmacy and ask to have a prescription filled on behalf of their patient who is in town.

Someone is then sent to pick up the drugs under a false name. Police believe the suspects are all from out of town.

Anyone with concerns is asked to call Sarnia police.
