A gunman stole a heroin-like prescription drug from Longs Drugs on Sunday.

Wielding a small black automatic handgun, the man broke into
the back of the pharmacy and nabbed some OxyContin — a high-dose heroin-like
painkiller.
The man, whom police described as heavyset, wore a white
hat, a white long-sleeved shirt and carried a grey-and-black backpack. He
looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s.
As of Monday, police are still searching for the suspect.
A couple employees at work that day said they heard a
commotion, but saw very little because it was at the back of the store and the
suspect came in through the back door.
One of the pharmacists called police.
The public is encouraged to call Tracy Crimestoppers with
any information at 831-6847; the Tracy Police Department at 831-4550; or officer
Daniel Pasquale, 831-6528.
